Abstract

Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK) constitute a diverse group of disorders characterized by thickening of the skin of palms and soles. They are often hereditary, but acquired non-familial forms are also common. Acquired PPK are relatively less common in children compared to adults. There is paucity of published literature on this subject with no review article at present. In this systematic review, we discuss the epidemiology and different kinds of acquired PPK in children. An approach towards treatment appropriate for the pediatric age group is also detailed. There is an urgent need for other investigators, especially Pediatric Dermatologists to document and generate more evidence on the epidemiology and clinical presentation of acquired variants of PPK in children.
