Stucco keratosis

My legs are covered in small raised spots. They are flesh colored and flat. Both of my lower legs, ankles and feet are  totally covered in these things. They look identical to photos I have seen of stucco keratosis. Is there any treatment for this condition? I have been applying Amylactin lotion to my legs for a couple of months to try to soften or diminish them, but so far, no luck.  Any advice?


This discussion is related to red itchy bumps on legs and in groin region.

Hi,

You cannot make a definite diagnosis by looking  at pictures. It would be ebst to consult a skin specialist and get a proper clinical examination done to find out the cause of your symptoms.

'Stucco keratosis is a keratotic papule that is usually found on the distal lower acral extremities of males.
Different methods or a combination of methods can be used to remove the lesions. The most common methods in practice are liquid nitrogen therapy and curettage.'

4 years ago I was diagnosed as having Stucco Keratosis and was prescribe a topical cream with Salyic Acid, which does little to no good for treatment or removal. Last year, I was unfortunate enough to contract a blood infection in my right leg, that caused extreme swelling and discoloration from ankle to knee. I was hospitalized for 4 days and given 3 IV bags of antibiotics 3 times a day. My blood infection was cured and the swelling dissapated, but I noticed when I returned home that my Stucco Keratosis was gone as well.

Has your Stucco Keratosis come back or still gone?
