Recurrent palmoplantar hidradenitis, also known as idiopathic palmoplantar hidradenitis, idiopathic plantar hidradenitis, painful plantar erythema, palmoplantar eccrine hidradenitis, and plantar panniculitis, is primarily a disorder of healthy children and young adults, characterized by lesions that are primarily painful, subcutaneous nodules on the plantar surface, resembling erythema nodosum.: 780 

Although the cause of recurrent palmoplantar hidradenitis is unknown some theories involve trauma, moisture, physical activity, vibration, perspiration, infections, vaccinations, and hypersensitivity reactions.

Diagnosis can be made based on clinical features and confirmed by a skin biopsy. Recurrent palmoplantar hidradenitis is usually benign and does not require any specific treatment.
