palmoplantar
Palm and sole
Palmoplantar refers to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet together, used almost exclusively in medical contexts.
Palmoplantar keratoderma is thickening of skin on these surfaces.
Palmoplantar pustulosis produces blisters there.
The term appears because many conditions affect both areas simultaneously.
