Porokeratoma Treatment Process

 

TREATMENT PROCESS

This is my current treatment process for patients with Porokeratomas (clogged sweat glands), please watch the video for full details. 

  • 1st Visit - Evaluate your condition trim off the painful callus and apply salicylic acid to the area. 
  • Pumice and Cream - Using a pumice and callus cream can help reduce recurrence. 
  • Orthotics - Orthotics are useful to offload the painful callused area to prevent recurrence. 
  • Shoe Modifications - Sometimes wider shoes can be useful or doing a shoe-liner cut out can take pressure off a painful area with a deep porokeratoma.
  • Excision - At times I recommend removing the painful porokeratoma with a 3-4mm punch excision technique. 

RESOURCES
