Idiopathic palmoplantar eccrine hidradenitis (IPPH) is a recently described disorder characterized by painful erythematous plantar nodules and in three cases, showed a typical neutrophilic infiltrate around and within the eccrine sweat apparatus. Five cases of IPPH on the soles of the feet in healthy children are reported. The disorder presented after intense physical activity in four cases. The course was benign and self-limiting. Complete bed rest for several days without any medical therapy led to alleviation of the pain and disappearance of all the lesions. Conclusion. Idiopathic palmoplantar eccrine hidradenitis may be more common than reported. Paediatricians should be aware of it in order to avoid unnecessary diagnostic tests and treatments.

Chilblain is an erythrocyanotic lesion of hands or feet, occurring after prolonged exposure to moderate to cold humidity. Most common in young and slim women, it can happen at every age, and relapses characteristically in autumn and winter. Clinical diversity is the rule, in frequent association with microvascular dysreactivity (mostly acrocyanosis). Chilblain is benign in most cases.
