Summary Prayer nodules have been reported to occur on the foreheads of elderly male and female Muslims (Vollum & Azadeh, 1979; Monk, 1982), but have not been reported to occur elsewhere. We would like to report the occurrence of a prayer nodule on the dorsal aspect of a foot, which from our experience is another common site.
