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).
The wart surface may be smooth and pearly or rough like a cauliflower. Flat warts â These are flat, white, beige or brown growths. They do not usually itch. They typically occur on the face, neck, chest, forearms, wrists or hands. Plantar warts â These are thick, painful overgrowths of skin on the soles of the feet.
