Granular parakeratosis is a benign entity that mainly affects the intertriginous areas and is associated with occlusion and contact with irritants. It was first described in 1991 by Northcutt et al. The usual clinical presentation is the presence of plaques composed of hyperpigmented follicular papules that are erythematous and confluent in axillary folds and less frequently, in inguinal folds and buttocks unilaterally or bilaterally. It mainly affects middle-aged women and have good answer to treatment with steroids and topical retinoids. We present the case report of a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with granular axillary parakeratosis, with complete resolution of tretinoin and topical tracrolimus lesions.
