Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess adults with palmoplantar keratoderma (thickening skin layer on palms and soles) who are treated with the study drug, tapinarof. This is a naturally occuring compound used for the treatment of psoriasis. This study is being done to find out how well and safe this drug is for stopping or treating keratoderma. This study aims to investigate the positive impacts of daily topical Tapinarof use in the improvement of Keratoderma. Clinical efficacy and safety profile of prescribing Tapinarof for this condition will be evaluated.
