The most common conditions of palmar lesions are Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatophytosis, Verruca vulgaris, Syphilis and Seasonal exfoliation. Other conditions over the palms include Drug induced, Callosities, Keratoderma and Heloma. Skin biopsies were obtained from the enrolled patients. We examined H&E-stained sections of the skin biopsies of palmar lesions to observe the histopathological study where it was seen that in the active lesions, parakeratosis was more uniform, Munromicroabscesses were larger and more numerous which concludes that psoriasis is the commonest palmar lesion.
