Peeling skin syndrome 5

Summary

Peeling skin syndrome-5 (PSS5) is characterized by superficial peeling of the dorsal and palmar skin of the hands and feet; the skin of the forearms and legs may also be involved. Some patients exhibit diffuse yellowish hyperkeratotic palmoplantar plaques (Pigors et al., 2016). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of peeling skin syndrome, see PSS1 (270300). [from OMIM]
