Skin Ridges
Skin striae are the ridges and whorls that make up fingerprints. The feet and toes have skin striae, as well. Plantar warts can disrupt skin ridges and striae patterns.
Striae lines and ridges may be present on the thickened skin around a plantar wart, but these patterns aren't visible on the wart itself. The top layer of skin covering calluses and corns retains distinct patterns of ridges and lines, so examining skin striae may help identify plantar warts.3‘Plantar Warts: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments.’ FootAnkleInstitute.com, 19 Feb. 2019, www.footankleinstitute.com/conditions/cysts/plantar-warts
