Bindii dermatitis.
Bindii dermatitis is a distinctive eruption involving the palms, soles, elbows and knees. Most patients are young boys engaged in vigorous outdoor activities. The eruption represents a reaction to traumatic impregnation of the skin with the spine of the bindii seed. It can easily be misdiagnosed by dermatologists unfamiliar with the condition.
