Your Body Is Speaking
Your palms and the soles of your feet — the surfaces with which you touch the world and stand upon it — fill with small, sterile pustules. No pathogen, no infection. Your body produces these blisters from within itself. They itch, burn, burst open, leaving rough, cracked skin. Then they form again. Over and over. Dermatology classifies palmoplantar pustulosis in the vicinity of psoriasis — an inflammatory skin condition in which the immune system acts against its own skin. Treatment targets inflammation and immune modulation. What medicine rarely asks: why does the body react precisely there — at the contact surfaces with the world?
