Three morphological varieties of hyperkeratotic and verrucous skin lesions on the anterior aspect of ankle joints in patients with leprosy are described: (i) verrucous lesions with thread-like horny projections similar to filiform warts; (ii) irregular compact hyperkeratotic lesions with deep fissures in between; and (iii) hyperkeratotic lesions with linear fissures corresponding to the transverse creases on the anterior aspect of the ankle. Chemical cautery was useful for the treatment of the first two varieties, and a potent topical corticosteroid with salicylic acid was useful for the third.
