  • Title: The enigma of juvenile plantar dermatosis.
    Author: van Diggelen MW, van Dijk E, Hausman R.
    Journal: Am J Dermatopathol; 1986 Aug; 8(4):336-40. PubMed ID: 3766922.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile plantar dermatosis, which is sometimes accompanied by palmar changes, is a chronic condition. It is characterized by shiny redness, anhidrosis, and fissuring of the skin. Microscopically, focal inflammatory changes at the junctions of sweat-gland ducts and acrosyringia are seen. The pathogenesis is unknown. We surmise that individual susceptibility, bacterial colonization, and the use of man-made leather substitutes and fibers are the main causative factors.
