[+] Tips
- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

Definition

Keratoderma blennorrhagicum is a skin lesion commonly found on the palms and soles but which may spread to the scrotum, scalp and trunk also, and which resemble psoriasis. It's commonly seen as a feature of reactive arthritis (Reiter's syndrome) in almost 15% of male patients. The appearance is usually of a vesico-pustular waxy lesion with a yellow brown color. These lesions may join together to form larger crusty plaques with desquamating edges. .. anon contributor
