"Palmoplantar" refers to conditions that affect both the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.

The following is a list of such conditions:

  • Palmoplantar keratoderma, a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormal thickening of the palms and soles, with autosomal recessive and dominant, X-linked, and acquired forms all having been described
  • Recurrent palmoplantar hidradenitis (also known as "Idiopathic plantar hidradenitis") is primarily a disorder of healthy children and young adults, characterized by lesions that are primarily painful, subcutaneous nodules on the plantar surface, resembling erythema nodosum
  • Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis (also known as "Emotional hyperhidrosis") is excessive sweating usually localized to the palms, soles, and/or axillae, and may be worse during warm temperatures
