Q: Punctate Hyper Keratosis On the Soles of the Feet

Do you know anyone that has this inherited skin disease ?
It looks like big planters warts on the sole of your feet. It multiplies....Meaning it is hyper. It usally appear's on your pressure points on the sole of your feet and your big toe. Very painful if any pressure is put on them.

I would like to see if there is anyone else out there that has the same inherited skin disease as myself.

Thank you

punctate hyper keratosis

You may not even be on this forum anymore, but I just saw this post. Yes, my sister and I also have this which we got from our father. His father and grandmother also had it. We haven't been able to trace it beyond his grandmother, but we know her sister didn't have it.

Punctate Keratoderma palmaris et plantaris

Yes, I also have it on my hands and feet, as do my father, my brother and my daughter. In fact, I just went to see the dermatologist about it, not knowing what it was, who says there is nothing you can really do about it except dig out the painful parts, and you can apply a 40% urea cream to soften it. He's not promising it will help, but basically you just have to live with it, ugly as it is...
