Diagnosis
The symmetrical
affection of both hands and feet,
the history, and the absence
of eruptions elsewhere on the
skin should make it easy to
distinguish
this disease from hyperkeratosis
due to hard work, from arsenical hyperkeratosis and from hyperkeratosis
due to eczema psoriasis, or
pityriasis rubra pilaris.
Prognosis. The
condition is incurable.
Treatment
This consists
of the regular use of
emollient Ointments as detailed in the treatment of
ichthyosis.
