-
A rare form of porokeratosis occurring mainly in adolescence and characterised by small pruritic or painful keratotic papules that first appear on the palms and soles, and may gradually become generalised. The prevalence is unknown but it is one of the rarest forms of porokeratosis. The disease is more frequently seen in males. The exact aetiology is unknown. A possible locus for PPPD has been found on chromosome 12q24.1-24.2. Usually follows a dominant (autosomal or X-linked) pattern of inheritance.
