Skin & Aging have this case report and review of painful piezogenic pedal papules:
Quote:
However, dermatologic reasons for heel pain are commonly ignored, as the focus tends to be on mechanical or structural problems. The patient presented here did have a dermatologic origin of her pain: piezogenic pedal papules.
I am a fourth year podiatry student at Glasgow Caledonian and this is my first post. Today in clinic I had a patient with piezogenic pedal papules. The only reason I know the patient had this was because he told me. I have never heard of them before, let alone seen them! I have came home and tried to read up on them, however my resources seem a bit vague? Can anyone please tell me anymore about them, i.e what causes them, why they occur and any treatment methods? Any information will be extremely grateful!

75% of the population have them!, but only a very few are ever painful.
