Application of salicylic acid or urea-based preparations helps reduce excess keratin buildup in punctate lesions, softening the skin and improving comfort. These medications work by breaking down the protein structure of thickened skin.
Aggressive moisturization regimen
Frequent application of thick emollients and occlusive moisturizers maintains skin hydration, prevents cracking, and reduces discomfort associated with punctate palmoplantar keratoderma.

Professional debridement
Periodic removal of thickened skin lesions by a podiatrist or dermatologist using specialized instruments provides relief from pain and pressure, improving mobility and comfort.
