Granular parakeratosis: resolution with topical tretinoin

Sonya K Brown et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

Granular parakeratosis is an unusual acquired dermatosis characterized by intertriginous keratotic papules. Histologic examination shows parakeratosis with large numbers of basophilic keratohyaline granules within the stratum corneum. We report a case of a granular parakeratosis of the axilla that cleared rapidly with topical administration of tretinoin.
