Skin on the palms of hands and soles of feet have dry, thick patches which progress slowly. The skin that is affected may look red in color and then start becoming abnormally thick and scaly. After birth it usually is obvious whether a child is affected with this disease because the hands or feet will appear to be peeling and could be red in color. There is not much variation in this disease besides the skin how red the skin will turn and how much skin will turn thicker. The skin that is affected on the hands and feet can start to look like the affected person is wearing gloves or socks, this is because the affected area on the hands and feet go up to the wrists and ankles, respectively. Other symptoms can include excessive sweating due to the thick skin affecting sweat glands on the skin; this excessive sweating can cause a person to have bad odor. Severity of symptoms could increase as a person gets older. Signs * dry skin on hands or feet * skin peeling * thick patches of skin * skin discoloration (red skin)
