    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Podiatry
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Repetitive minor trauma can lead to localized skin changes.
    • Understanding the etiology of foot callosities is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
    • The association between posture and dermatological conditions warrants further investigation.

    Observation:

    • Five patients presented with localized callosities on the dorsum of their feet.
    • The condition was bilateral in four out of five cases.
    • The callosities were attributed to repetitive minor trauma from a specific sitting posture.

    Findings:

    • The primary cause identified for the foot callosities was a consistent sitting posture leading to repetitive trauma.
    • Three patients concurrently exhibited psoriasis vulgaris, with lesions distinct from the described callosities.

  • The callosities were localized to the dorsum of the feet, suggesting a specific pressure point.

    • Implications:

    • This finding highlights the impact of habitual posture on foot health and skin integrity.
    • Clinicians should consider habitual posture as a potential cause of localized foot callosities.
    • Differentiating these trauma-induced callosities from other dermatological conditions like psoriasis is important for appropriate management.
