Expert Plantar Keratoderma Treatment in Dhaka – Dr. A. K. M. Rezaul Haque
As a dermatologist and venereologist with years of experience, I understand how plantar keratoderma can impact daily life. This condition, characterized by thickened, callus-like skin on the soles of the feet, can be uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes affect mobility. My approach focuses on effective management, symptom relief, and long-term prevention.
I begin with a thorough examination to determine whether the keratoderma is hereditary, acquired, or related to an underlying condition. Understanding the cause is crucial for tailoring treatment. I then design a personalized care plan, combining professional skin care, topical treatments, and lifestyle recommendations.
