Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus (PEODDN) is a rare and benign cutaneous condition, distinguished by numerous punctate pits and keratotic papules, usually present over palms and soles. A young female of age 25 years came to the out patient department with asymptomatic rough papules over her right palm and sole, for the past 3 years. Clinical examination showed keratotic papules, distributed over right palm’s radial aspect, just below and in front of base of thumb. Similar lesions were found on the inner side of right foot. The histopathological features were typical of PEODDN. PEODDN, also known as comedo nevus of palm, is characterized by pits which are keratotic and grouped, usually seen over palms and soles. The onset can be at birth or early adulthood. The lesions are mostly asymptomatic with very few treatment options described in literature. It is an uncommon and cosmetically disfiguring condition with only a few case reports till date.
