Pitted Keratolysis Prevention

« Back to Glossary Index

Pitted Keratolysis is a bacterial infection that affects the skin on the soles of the feet and often causes pits or small depressions to form. However, it does not typically affect the toenails. To prevent Pitted Keratolysis, it is recommended to keep the feet clean and dry, wear breathable socks and shoes, avoid walking barefoot in public areas, regularly change socks, and use antiperspirant powders or sprays on the feet. It is important to note that proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional should be sought for any specific toe nail conditions.
