Talon noir was first described in 1961 by Peachey as atraumatic petechial eruption characteristic of basketball players' heels, and were originally called calcaneal petechiae. It is a dermatosis linked to trauma, with asymptomatic lesions, marked by the presence of blood within the stratum corneum. It presents varied clinical manifestations, with the location depending on the involved provocative fac-tor. The present study describes a case of talon noir in a patient with psoriasis vulgaris and demonstrates the importance of the correlation of clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological characteristics.
