Stuccokeratosis

 

This is an acquired condition starting at 50 years or later.  It is symptomless.  It starts on the distal parts of legs and forearms.  It looks like warts . An important clue is that it can be easily removed by scratching with the nails !!!

 

Treatment

2% salicylic acid may be treated.
Tretinoin cream 0.05% may be used.
Liquid Nitrogen cryotherapy may be used but because of the multiple lesions it may be impractical.
