Verrucas ? =warts?: The wart regular virus grows in the skin surface drawing its nutrients from deeper in the skin.It's root system tries to avoid your blood vessels, to avoid the immune response.Over a period of years, sometimes 3-5, the immune system may shed them.Many don't have the patients & have those in problem areas removed.I don't worry about the immune system if a kid keeps warts for years.
