Pitted keratolysis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the soles of the feet, leading to the formation of small, crater-like pits in the skin. It is often associated with excessive sweating and prolonged exposure to moisture, creating an environment where bacteria thrive. The condition can cause a strong, unpleasant odor and may result in tenderness or discomfort when walking. People who wear tight, non-breathable shoes or those who work in moist environments are particularly susceptible. Treatment typically involves keeping the feet dry, using antibacterial washes, and applying topical antibiotics. Preventive measures include wearing moisture-wicking socks, choosing breathable footwear, and regularly changing socks to minimize moisture buildup.
