Juvenile plantar dermatosis is a condition usually seen in children between the ages of 3 and 14, and involves the cracking and peeling of weight bearing areas of the soles of the feet. [1] One of the earliest descriptions was made by British dermatologist Darrell Wilkinson. [2]
The anterior portion of the sole and the plantar surfaces of the toes are the areas most commonly impacted. The dorsal surface of the toes, the heels, and the fingertips are other occasionally afflicted locations. The spared web gaps between the toes is a defining trait of juvenile plantar dermatosis. The symptoms of a lesion are bright, red, dry spots. Scaling and fissuring may be visible in chronic situations. [3]
It is unclear exactly what causes juvenile plantar dermatosis (JPD) and how it develops. [4] JPD is frequently observed in "atopic" children, or those with hay fever, asthma, or atopic dermatitis, or eczema. [5] The warm summertime temperatures can make it worse. [3]
JPD does not have a particular treatment. Avoiding too much moisture by wearing breathable shoes and avoiding shoes altogether are examples of management techniques. This lessens the effects of occlusion and friction, which encourage cutaneous peeling and cracking, and may assist to decrease perspiration. While they are often used to reduce acute inflammation, topical corticosteroids do not appear to have a direct impact on the etiology. Recurrence is therefore frequent after corticosteroid medication is stopped. [4]
Juvenile plantar dermatosis (JPD) affects children aged 3 to 15, but is more commonly observed in boys aged 4 to 8. [3]
Nummular dermatitis is one of the many forms of dermatitis. It is characterized by round or oval-shaped itchy lesions. The name comes from the Latin word "nummus," which means "coin."
Anetoderma is a benign but uncommon disorder that causes localized areas of flaccid or herniated sac-like skin due to a focal reduction of dermal elastic tissue. Anetoderma is subclassified as primary anetoderma, secondary anetoderma, iatrogenic anetoderma of prematurity, congenital anetoderma, familial anetoderma, and drug-induced anetoderma.
Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis (IGDA) or Ackerman dermatitis syndrome is a skin condition that most commonly presents with symmetrical round-to-oval red or violet plaques on the flanks, armpits, inner thighs, and lower abdomen.
Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa or Acrokeratoelastoidosis is a hereditary form of marginal keratoderma, and can be defined as a palmoplantar keratoderma. It is distinguished by tiny, firm pearly or warty papules on the sides of the hands and, occasionally, the feet. It is less common than the hereditary type of marginal keratoderma, keratoelastoidosis marginalis.
Nevus lipomatosus (cutaneous) superficialis is characterized by soft, yellowish papules or cerebriform plaques, usually of the buttock or thigh, less often of the ear or scalp, with a wrinkled rather than warty surface. It is usually congenital in origin or appears within the first three decades.
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis(APD) occurs during the luteal phase of a woman's menstrual cycle and is an uncommon cyclic premenstrual reaction to progesterone. It can present itself in several ways, including eczema, erythema multiforme, urticaria, angioedema, and progesterone-induced anaphylaxis. The first case of autoimmune progesterone dermatitis was identified in 1964. Reproductive function may be impacted by APD.
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is a rare immune-mediated blistering skin disease frequently associated with medication exposure, especially vancomycin, with men and women being equally affected. It was first described by Tadeusz Chorzelski in 1979 and may be divided into two types:
Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a skin condition that presents with edematous pustular or ulcerative nodules or plaques localized to the dorsal hands.
Discrete papular lichen myxedematosus is a skin condition caused by fibroblasts producing abnormally large amounts of mucopolysaccharides characterized by the occurrence of waxy, flesh-colored papules.
Acral persistent papular mucinosis (APPM) is a rare form of lichen myxedematosus. It is characterized by small papules on the backs of the hands, wrists, and extensor aspects of the distal forearms, with no further clinical or laboratory indications. Lesions tend to persist and may grow in number gradually. Because there are no symptoms, treatment is rarely required.
Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis is a skin condition caused by fibroblasts producing abnormally large amounts of mucopolysaccharides, and is characterized by the sudden onset of skin lesions and polyarthritis.
Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a skin condition caused by fibroblasts producing abnormally large amounts of mucopolysaccharides. It is a disease that tends to affect women in the third and fourth decades of life.
Trigeminal trophic syndrome is a rare disease caused by the interruption of peripheral or central sensory pathways of the trigeminal nerve. A slowly enlarging, uninflammed ulcer can occur in the area that has had trigeminal nerve damage; including but not limited to the cheek beside the ala nasi.
Tinea imbricata is a superficial fungal infection of the skin limited to southwest Polynesia, Melanesia, Southeast Asia, India, and Central America. The skin lesions are often itchy, and mainly in the torso and limbs. The name is derived from the Latin for "tiled" (imbricata) since the lesions are often lamellar. It is often treated with griseofulvin or terbinafine.
Annular elastolytic giant-cell granuloma is a cutaneous condition characterized histologically by a dermal infiltrate of macrophages.
Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis is a cutaneous condition characterized by skin lesions on the glans penis that are wart-like with scaling.
Relapsing linear acantholytic dermatosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by relapsing linear erosions and crusting, histologically identical to Hailey–Hailey disease. It is not to be confused with transient acantholytic dermatosis.
Riga–Fede disease(RFD) is a rare and benign mucosal condition, characterized by a tongue ulcer that is frequently brought on by traumatizing injuries sustained from repeatedly moving the tongue back and forth over the mandibular anterior incisors.
Histopathology of dermatitis can be performed in uncertain cases of inflammatory skin condition that remain uncertain after history and physical examination.
