Juvenile plantar dermatosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1989308240

A distinctive condition in which the plantar skin of the forefoot and toes becomes reddened, glazed, crazed and fissured. It occurs in physically active children and has been linked to wearing occlusive footwear and synthetic fibre socks. It is thus thought to result from a combination of occlusion and repetitive friction.
