Abstract:
Piezogenic pedal papules are small, occasionally painful, fat herniation, which become apparent when weight is placed on the heel. We present a case of painful piezogenic pedal papules occurring on both heels of 30-year-old female patient without family history. Clinical and histopathological features confirmed diagnosis. Foot-ankle stocking was effective therapy for painful piezogenic pedal papules.
