Overview of Peptic Ulcer Disease Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a chronic (long lasting) condition that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or digestive system. PUD causes ulcers (sores or lesions) in the lining (mucosa) of the stomach or first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
What are the symptoms and how are plantar warts diagnosed? These warts can look like small, fleshy bumps; hard, flat growths with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries; or gray or brown lumps with tiny pinprick-size black dots (clotted blood vessels that distinguish warts from bloodless corns and calluses).
A wart is a small growth with a rough texture that can appear anywhere on the body. It can look like a solid blister or a small cauliflower. Warts are caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. The appearance of a wart depends on its location on the body and the thickness of the skin. Palmar warts appear on the hand. Plantar warts affect the feet. As many as 1 in 3 children and teenagers are estimated to have warts, but only 3 to 5 percent of adults.
