Abstract

The article offers a brief history of pitted keratolysis (PK), research regarding PK etiology, evaluation of PK, and current treatment modalities. The main objective of this article focuses on the current literature on PK, its presentation and symptomatology, prevalence, and available therapeutic options. We present a case report and review on PK of a patient treated with an over the counter antiperspirant, topical erythromycin, oral erythromycin, and proper education on hygiene, with complete resolution and without recurrence after a follow up of greater than 12 months.
