Hyperkeratosis refers to the increased thickness of the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin. It is most frequently due to chronic physical or chemical damage such as friction or the use of aggressive soaps but can also derive from chronic inflammation or a side-effect of different drugs, including chemotherapy. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of hyperkeratosis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
Summarize the major histologic forms of hyperkeratosis. Review the different pathologies that can manifest with hyperkeratosis.Explain the importance of collaboration and communication amongst the interprofessional team to ensure the appropriate diagnosis and treatment is selected for patients with hyperkeratosis.
Evaluation
Dermoscopy is noninvasive and allows visualization of the skin structures in the epidermis, dermo-epidermal junction, and superficial dermis.
A biopsy is essential in cases in which the clinical setting is overlapping with different entities having distinctive histopathologic findings. For an ideal full-thickness biopsy, it is important to include the hypodermis. This can be performed with a simple 3 mm punch that minimizes scarring in the affected area. Any smaller size is at risk of being non-diagnostic.
Patch tests can be useful for identifying the causative allergen if an allergic dermatitis is suspected. Clinical clues are the presence of persistent, pruritic, eczematous eruptions in which any other identifiable cause has been excluded. If the patient tests positive, they should be encouraged to avoid the specific allergen. A follow-up after a few weeks of allergen avoidance is strongly recommended.

Clavus mollis (Cm) – to inaczej odcisk miekki.
Clavus vascularis (Cv) – to odcisk z zawartością drobnych naczyń krwionośnych.
Clavus neurovascularis (Cnv) – odcisk nerwowo – naczyniowy.
Clavus neurofibrosis (Cnf) – odcisk nerwowo – włóknisty.
Clavus papilaris (Cp) – to odcisk brodawkowy. Często się powtarza.
