First described by Shelley and Rawnsley in 1968, piezogenic pedal papules are flesh-colored papules which emerge on the heel upon weight bearing. Herniations of subcutaneous fat give rise to these papules. Upon cessation of weight bearing, the papules frequently recede and vanish.
How do you get rid of Piezogenic papules?
- Restriction of weight-bearing exercise.
- Weight loss.
- Compression stockings.
- Foam rubber foot pads, or foam-fitting plastic heel cups.
- A consultation with a podiatrist may be helpful.
Why do I have Piezogenic papules?
Piezogenic pedal papules usually reflect a benign condition consisting of normal fat tissue that has extruded through the dermis. The papules usually appear on the plantar aspect of the foot and heel and are more marked on the medial aspect; they may also occur near the wrist and lateral borders of the hand.
