Abstract
Palmar, palmoplantar and plantar erythema are important clinical entities in children. These findings may be diagnostic clues to an underlying pathology. Palmar erythema has been described for decades and has a broad differential diagnosis. However, plantar erythema is a less known phenomenon and has only been described in several articles. Our aim is to give an overview of the most frequent and well-known causes of palmar, palmoplantar and plantar erythema in children and their specific presentation. We also included a list with further investigations that can be performed in order to come to the right diagnosis.
