Summary

Palmoplantar psoriasis and palmoplantar eczema are chronic inflammatory skin diseases that may show similar findings on the palms and soles, such as redness, scaling, thickening of the skin, fissures, itching, and burning. Because these conditions can look alike, distinguishing between them in routine clinical practice may be difficult.

This prospective, single-center observational study was designed to compare polarized dermoscopic and ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopic (UVFD) findings in adult patients with palmoplantar psoriasis and palmoplantar eczema. A total of 81 patients aged 18 years and older were included: 41 patients with clinically and/or histopathologically confirmed palmoplantar plaque psoriasis and 40 patients with palmoplantar eczema.

Dermoscopic and UVFD images were evaluated to identify vascular, scaling, surface, and fluorescence-related features that may help differentiate palmoplantar psoriasis from palmoplantar eczema. The study aims to assess whether these non-invasive imaging methods can provide additional diagnostic clues to support clinical evaluation.
