I hope it's not very painful. Poor guy, how frustrating would it be to not be able to use your hands because of that. I hope it’s not very painful.

I assume DPM is some sort of dermatological degree, but the case in question doesn't look anything like the photos of Unna Thost disease. I can't say for sure if it's Lewandowsky-Lutz, but that disease is caused by HPV, and a parallel, better-documented disease is caused in rabbits by SPV, and the photos look strikingly similar to this case. See my page here: http://student.plattsburgh.edu/mikk1097/bio406/lew-lutz.html Wow.

However, there are no reported pictures of this condition to associate the appearance of this condition. It looks more like a PPK or hyperkeratosis, which is an autosomal-dominant disease. These are not macules or papules, so I’m not really sure this would be considered Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, which is viral. Many times, these conditions have fungal and viral infections superimposed over a genetic hyperkeratosis. It may be more in line with Unna Thost disease. The jury is still out on this rapidly circulating post on the internet. . . Jon, see my post on my blog about this skin condition:

Very dramatic pictures. Looks like Unna Thost Disease. Very dramatic pictures.

And lot of users send me emails when they find something amazing/bizarre/outstanding medical news. Thank you for your kind comment and for your visit. Jeff:
