Summary
Pool toes, a form of irritant contact dermatitis from friction and water, are common in children but often misdiagnosed. Early diagnosis and avoiding triggers are key for healing this sport-related skin condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Pool toes is a sport-related dermatosis.
- It is a variant of irritant contact dermatitis caused by friction and water exposure.
- This condition is common in children and frequently misdiagnosed.
Observation:
- A case report of a 7-year-old girl with pool toes is presented.
- The child developed frictional dermatitis consistent with pool toes.
- The diagnosis of pool toes was confirmed.
Findings:
- Topical corticosteroids were administered to the patient.
- Favorable results and healing were achieved with treatment.
- Awareness of causes and cessation of triggers facilitate recovery.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of recognizing pool toes in pediatric dermatology.
- Emphasizes prompt diagnosis and management to prevent complications.
- Educating on causative factors can improve patient outcomes and healing.

Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
1.9K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
