Piezogenic pedal papules extending into the arch. Case report and discussion.
A unique presentation of a painful piezogenic papule in the medial longitudinal arch has been presented. This lesion puts pressure on nearby structures, causing pain. Walking without pain is achieved through orthopedic padding. It is essential that these papules be differentiated from similar-appearing lesions of a systemic etiology, so that appropriate treatment can be rendered.
