Abstract

Circumscribed palmar hypokeratosis (CPH) is a benign dermatologic condition characterized by local thinning of the stratum corneum. Herein, we present a 52-year-old woman who presented with an asymptomatic pink depressed papule on the right palm. This was treated with clobetasol 0.05% topically twice a day with no improvement.
