Pulpitis palmar de las piscinas: un diagnóstico que hay que considerar / Pool palms: a diagnosis to consider

RESUMEN

La dermatitis palmar juvenil de las piscinas es una dermatosis por fricción, típica de la infancia, causada por el roce continuo de la piel húmeda de las palmas de las manos, y ocasionalmente de las plantas de los pies, con las superficies rugosas de las piscinas. Es posible que dicha dermatosis sea relativamente frecuente, aunque existen muy pocos casos descritos en la literatura científi­ca, por lo que, a menudo, es desconocida y, seguramente, está infradiagnosticada

It is possible that this dermatosis is relatively frequent but, nevertheless, there are very few cases described in the literature so that it is often unknown and probably underdiagnosed. Therefore, two cases of said entity that affect the same family are reported
