Abstract

Juvenile plantar dermatosis is found mainly in children from 3-14 yr old. The main symptoms are redness, shiny hyperkeratosis, lamellar scaling and painful fissure formation in the weight-bearing parts of the soles and toes. Sometimes the hands also seem to be affected. External factors, occlusive socks and footwear, possibly together with an atopic constitution, are believed to be the cause of the disease, which is very difficult to treat.
