Wooly hair is a rare hair shaft abnormality characterized by extremely curly hair. It can occur in isolation or associated with palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) and cardiac defects. We present the case of a 56-year-old female patient who initially presented with non-itchy, painful skin lesions over palms and soles since 5years and had abnormal scalp hair texture since childhood. She responded positively to treatment with topical application of 6%salicylic acid twice a day for 3 months on which the thickness and size of the plaques gradually reduced.
