Patients present with flat, slightly scaly, red-brown macules on the face, neck and body, or verruca-like papillomatous lesions, seborrheic keratosis-like lesions, and pinkish-red plane papules on the hands, upper and lower extremities, and face. The benign form of EV presents with only flat, wart-like lesions over the body, whereas the malignant form shows a higher rate of polymorphic skin lesions and development of multiple cutaneous tumors."

In other words, it describes it as wart-like papules and so on. "Real" warts are caused by viruses, but Dede's condition was caused by something else.
