Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is an inherited skin condition characterized by multiple small horny bumps on the backs of the hands and feet, palms, soles, in which electron microscopy shows rarified, abnormal elastic tissue.[2]: 993 [3]: 214
Treatments such as liquid nitrogen, salicylic acid, tretinoin, and prednisone have been tried, though with limited success.[4]
It was characterized in 1953.[5]
