A frictional dermatosis that can develop on the uncalloused paw pads of puppies, resulting from repeated rubbing of the paws against ambient temperature, not heated, paved road is pavement paws. Neither pool toes nor pavement paws result from contact with a hot surface; these dermatoses are distinctive from beach feet, a thermal-associated superficial burn to the skin resulting from the hot temperature of the sand that contacts that the plantar feet and toes.

We report two cases of FEP, including the WFPN and PXE-like PDE variants, in elderly women. In one case, a woman in her 70s with hyperlipidemia and chronic kidney disease presented with white-to-yellow, smooth, monomorphic papules coalescing into plaques on the posterior neck and bilateral antecubital fossa. A punch biopsy and elastic stain revealed a loss of elastic fibers in the papillary dermis. Based on these findings, we diagnosed our patient with PXE-like PDE. In another case, a woman in her 60s with no significant medical history similarly presented with skin-colored, smooth monomorphic papules on the posterior and anterior neck. A punch biopsy was also performed and an elastic stain showed a loss of elastic fibers in the papillary dermis, confirming the diagnosis of WFPN.
