It can cause whitish areas inside the mouth.

Relevant creams or ointments that contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid can be applied on the affected area.yperkeratosis is more pronounced and noticed on the skin of women who have brown skins. Creams containing glycolic acid should be applied on the thickened skins of the palms, sole, elbows and the knees to soften the skin.

Therapeutic touch Therapeutic touch is an alternative medicine approach to treating medical conditions, especially pain, anxiety, and stress. It was developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, in the 1970s. There is no standard training or licensing requirement for practitioners of therapeutic touch, although this technique is used most commonly by nurses. Therapeutic touch is used for painful conditions including breast biopsy, cancer, nerve pain, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also used for stress, anxiety, dementia, colic, trauma, heart disease, burns, swelling (inflammation), fever, ulcers, autism, multiple sclerosis (MS), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), asthma, stroke recovery, measles, and many other conditions.

- The term leukoplakia refers to a clinically white mucosal thickening lesion that cannot be further defined. Most leukoplakia will be shown microscopically to be hyperkeratosis, with or without e pithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or superficially invasive squamous cell carcinoma.hey are often secondary to chronic irritation, such as biting or tobacco use. Hyperkeratotic lesions on oral mucosal surfaces that are normally keratinized, such as dorsum of the tongue, hard palate, and attached gingiva, sometimes represent a physiologic response (callus) to chronic irritation.

Causes of Hyperkeratosis Causes of Hyperkeratosis. Hyperkeratosis is a type of keratosis. Keratosis is a skin disorder that caused by overproduction of keratin. is associated with qualitative abnormality of the keratin causing thickening of the stratum corneum the horny layer of the skin. Thickening of this horny layer causes the granular layer to thicken too. This is normally due to constant friction, rubbing together and applied pressure. This leads to hardening of the skin.

Hypertonicity Relevant terms include isotonicity, hypertonicity, and hypotonicity. In general, hypertonicity is a condition characterized by the presence of a greater degree of tone or tension. In cellular level, hypertonicity is a property of a solution wherein the amount of solutes is higher than that of another solution. A solution is also hypotonic when a solution (or a fluid) has greater osmotic pressure than the other solution (or fluid).

Structure and Function of Desmosomes Parakeratosis is defined as the presence of nucleated keratinocytes in the stratum corneum, and is thought to be due to accelerated keratinocytic turnover. Parakeratosis may occur in both benign skin diseases (such as various dermatitides) and malignant neoplasms (such as squamous cell carcinoma). It serves as a useful morphological feature in differentiating and classifying certain inflammatory skin diseases.

Hypertrophic actinic keratosis Hypertrophic actinic keratosis. A common hypertrophic variant of actinic keratosis is presented. Bland cytologic features are dominant, and the pattern varies markedly from that of other actinic keratoses. Histologic and topographic evidence suggests that the hypertrophic changes are induced by the trauma of chronic rubbing.
