Are these what we refer to as flat warts? I though flat warts were veruche piane, but could this be a synonym? Thanks!

mosaic plantar warts
There are three main types of plantar warts.
1. Myrmecia or ant hill warts, also known as inclusion warts, are caused by HPV type 1. They appear as raised, dome shaped and painful growths. These are highly infectious as they contain a high number of infective virus particles.
2. Mosaic plantar warts are caused by HPV 2 and appear as numerous, superficial and confluent groups of warts. These are not as painful as the inclusion warts, but are very persistent.
3. Small, thick, punctate keratotic plantar warts due to the HPV 4 type may show a central depression and a collar of thick skin. Smaller plantar warts may also be caused by HPV types 2 or 57.
