Question: 1 / 425

What is a common viral infection seen in salons that resembles small black dots, usually in clustered groups?

Cold sores

Cold sores are a type of viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus and are commonly seen in salons. Plantar warts and ringworm are also viral infections, but they do not appear as small black dots. Instead, plantar warts are skin growths that may have a rough surface and can be mistaken for calluses. Ringworm is a fungal infection that causes red, scaly, circular rashes on the skin. Shingles, on the other hand, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus and typically presents as a painful rash with blisters, not small black dots. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Cold sores.
