Palmoplantar reactions
1Dermatological Clinic Linden, Medical University, Hannover Germany.
Abstract:
The palmoplantar skin reacts monotonously to acute causes with vesicles or pustules and to chronic or chronically recurrent noxae with hyperkeratosis. Vesicular reactions are mostly triggered by eczematogens and fungi. Among the primary pustuloses, pustular psoriasis of the palms and soles is the dominating one, while the secondary pustuloses stem from infections of vesicular reactions with pyogens. Hyperkeratotic reactions may be caused directly by mechanical irritations or dehydration of the skin but also secondarily by chronic or chronically recurrent vesicular and pustular reactions.

Cells of the Epidermis
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...
