Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Idiopathic skin conditions

Background:

  • Recurrent focal palmar peeling (RFPP), formerly keratolysis exfoliativa, presents as chronic peeling of palms and sometimes soles.
  • Environmental factors can worsen RFPP, which is frequently misdiagnosed as chronic contact dermatitis.
  • The condition is often asymptomatic, leading to infrequent dermatological consultation.
