Abstract:
We report a case of painful pizogenic pedal papules in a 10-year-old female patient who had developed tense, skin-colored papules with pain on both heels when weight was placed on the feet. Histopathologic findings showed subcutaneous fatty tissue protruding into the lower dermis and a basophilic degenerative change of part of the collagen in the dermis. Her father also had the same skin lesions on his both heels.
