Steck Y1 - 1983/06/20 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/50/2/145.abstract N2 - Juvenile plantar dermatosis is a distinctive symmetrical fissuring dermatosis that affects the weight-bearing surfaces of the forefeet in prepubertal children. Most patients are hyperhidrotic and some are atopic; none has fungal disease or relevant contact allergy. The thick stratum corneum of the affected areas cracks as a result of being alternately too wet and too dry. Cure can be effected by preventing rapid drying of the skin. ER -
