Tinea pedis squamous-hyperkeratotic type B35.30

Well defined, focal, scaly hyperkeratoses, possibly with rhagades.

The soles of the feet, foot edges, tips of the toes and the plantar heel surfaces are most commonly affected.

Usually less symptomatic, aphlegmatic, hyperkeratotic, little consistency increased plaques with a flat, whitish, small to large lamellar scaling, which is less noticeable after a morning shower than in the evening with generally dry skin. No emphasis on the edges. Hardly any itching. It usually occurs on both sides of the soles of the feet. This type of athlete's foot, which is usually not noticed and not treated, is responsible for the spread of the infection via barefoot walking in hotels or bathing establishments.

The analogous clinical picture occurs, although less frequently, also as palmar mycosis, but then mostly unilaterally. Exceeding the lateral foot edges leads to the clinical picture of the moccasin type of tinea pedis.
