Orf is a viral disease that is widespread in sheep and goats. It can be transmitted to humans by contact with an infected animal or contaminated fomites. Reindeer have also caused similar lesions in humans. It is frequently seen in farming communities and meat handlers. Clinically, reddish weeping nodules are seen on the dorsa of the hands and the fingers that heal spontaneously in approximately 35 days
