Palmoplantar Keratoderma (PPK) market is expected to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2034.

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) refers to a group of skin disorders characterized by thickened skin on the palms and soles due to abnormal keratinization. PPK can be inherited or acquired, with symptoms ranging from mild thickening to painful fissures that significantly impair quality of life. While most cases are rare, the burden on patients is substantial, often requiring lifelong management.
