Abstract
Idiopathic palmoplantar hidradenitis (IPPH) is a neutrophilic dermatosis that causes erythematous plaques in plants and sometimes in palms. These injuries occur in children with no history of medication or systemic manifestations. It is postulated that mechanical factors affect immature eccrine glands. The treatment is controversial, although we know that it can be conservatively managed. On the other hand, histological diagnosis, which presents typical findings, would not be necessary in all cases, since most of them present characteristic symptoms and spontaneous remission in less than three weeks. We present two cases of IPPH in children.
