The current study explores a case of symmetrical acrokeratoderma, and related literature is reviewed. A 27-year-old male presented with brownish-black plaques distributed symmetrically on the dorsum of the hands and feet for 3 years, and white maceration of the lesions was observed after immersion in water. The patient was diagnosed with symmetrical acrokeratoderma, and Hirudoid ointment was topically administered twice a day for a month. The symptoms were partially alleviated, and the patient is currently under follow-up observation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
