Keratoderma blennorrhagicum (also called Keratoderma blennorrhagica)[1] are skin lesions commonly found on the palms and soles but which may spread to the scrotum, scalp and trunk also, and which resemble psoriasis.[2]: 195
Keratoderma blennorrhagicum is commonly seen as an additional feature of reactive arthritis (Reiter's syndrome) in almost 15% of male patients. The appearance is usually of a vesico-pustular waxy lesion with a yellow brown colour. These lesions may join together to form larger crusty plaques with desquamating edges.
