Abstract
Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola, which is characterized by verrucous thickening and pigmentation of the nipple or areola, is a rare condition. Different therapeutic options have been used with varying results, but there is no uniformly effective treatment. We describe two patients with hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola who responded well to topical calcipotriol ointment.
