Epidermolytic acanthomas are a cutaneous condition characterized by discrete keratotic papules in adults.

Epidermolytic acanthoma manifests clinically as tiny, fleshy or white papules that range in size from 1 to 2 mm.

[8] Epidermolytic acanthoma typically affects people who have never had an STD and who have never engaged in unsafe sexual conduct.

[8] The distinctive histologic findings in the appropriate clinical situation are necessary for an accurate diagnosis of epidermolytic acanthoma.

[5][12] There is no need for treatment, but if the patient feels embarrassed, there are a number of different therapies that can be performed, with varying degrees of success, such as cryotherapy, topical immune system modulators, or surgical excision.
