J Am Acad Dermatol. 2005 Aug;53(2):333-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2005.02.035.

Abstract

Infantile pedal papules are symmetric, painless, flesh-colored nodules on the medial aspects of an infant's heels. Although the medical literature suggests they are uncommon, a survey of 269 newborns and 189 infants indicates the incidence of these to be 5.9% in newborns and 39.4% in infants.
