Pointers With Portela: Managing Epidermolytic Palmoplantar Keratoderma

In this week’s Pointers with Portela, the 208SkinDoc reviews a case of pediatric keratoderma.

Dustin Portela, DO, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Treasure Valley Dermatology in Boise, Idaho, reviews a video of a caretaker removing epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma from a pediatric patient. The rare disease causes thickening of the skin on the hands and feet and can sometimes inhibit movement.

Opinions expressed are that of Portela and do not express the views or opinions of Dermatology Times®.
