Verrucae: The Daily PANCE Blueprint

A 24-year-old male presents to the clinic complaining of a “spot on his shins” for the past few weeks. On exam, you notice a small, flat plaque. You suspect it is a flat wart. Which strains of HPV are typically indicated in flat warts?

A.HPV 16 and 18
B. HPV 11 and 13
C. HPV 3 and 10
D. HPV 4 and 9
E. None of the above

Answer and topic summary

The answer is C. HPV 3 and 10

Verruca plans (aka flat warts) are small, flat plaques or patches found mostly on the face, hands, and shins. They are mostly caused by HPV 3 and 10. In most cases, warts will clear up on their own. Cryotherapy and topical medications such as salicylic acid, topical tretinoin, FU, and imiquimod, are options if the wart does not resolve.
