What is a common viral infection seen in salons that resembles small black dots?

Plant warts
Flat warts
Plantar warts
Common warts

The correct answer is: Plantar warts

The common viral infection seen in salons that resembles small black dots is actually plantar warts. Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and typically appear on the soles of the feet, often producing a rough texture and small black dots that are small blood vessels or clotted capillaries. These warts can be a concern in salon environments due to close contact surfaces and the potential for transmission in communal areas. They often require specific treatment options and attention in a salon setting to avoid spreading the virus to clients or other workers. Recognizing plantar warts is essential for nail technicians to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for their clients.
