Abstract

Granular parakeratosis is a rare skin disease that was first described by Northcutt et al (1991) (1) as hyperpigmented to bright red papular patches occurring on the axillae. Considering all cases reported, granular parakeratosis is predominantly seen in white, middle-aged females.(2) The differential diagnosis includes acanthosis nigricans, Hailey-Hailey disease, fungal infections, reticulate papillomatosis and seborrhoeic keratosis.
