Piezogenic papules are protrusions of fat that form within the subcutaneous tissue of the skin.[1] They are typically found on the heels or wrists.
Signs and symptoms [ edit ]
They present as multiple small or large bumps characteristically on the heels and wrists .[2] Most are asymptomatic and pain is rare, although some may present with pain before the bumps are noticed.[3] They generally occur bilaterally and display a yellowish to skin-color.[3] They may feel soft or firm.[3] [4]
Cause and risks [ edit ]
The bumps are caused by pressure.[1] There may be an association with Prader–Willi syndrome , and around a third of individuals with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome may have them.[2] Risk factors include obesity , flat feet , athletics , figure skating , and long-distance running .[3]
Diagnosis [ edit ]
Diagnosis is by its appearance.[3] If present in a child it may appear similar to juvenile aponeurotic fibroma .[3]
Treatment [ edit ]
Generally, no treatment is required.[3] They usually disappear when pressure is relieved; avoidance of prolonged standing, taping foot, compression stockings, heel cups, padding devices.[1]
Epidemiology [ edit ]
Piezogenic papules are relatively common; in one small population-based study, the prevalence was found to be 76%.[1] The same study found that it was not unusual to demonstrate the bumps when pressing a person's wrist.[1]
History [ edit ]
The term was first coined by W. B. Shelley and Rawnsley, who first described them in 1968.[5] [6]
