Pitted Keratolysis
I just noticed several questions being asked in some online forums about pitted keratolysis (see: pitted keratolysis). Pitted keratolysis is a condition that affects the soles of the feet. It mostly happens in those who sweat more especially if they wear closed in footwear. It is caused by corynebacteria infection that develops in the moist environment. It affects either the forefoot or the heel or both and appears as white with areas of punched-out pits or small cavities. They look a lot worse when the foot is wet. The primary treatment for pitted keratolysis is to deal with the hyperhidrosis or sweaty foot first. Occasionally a topical antibiotic, either topical or oral is needed if control of the hyperhidrosis is not successful in the treatment of pitted keratolysis.
