    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Foot redness and scaling in children often mimic fungal infections like tinea pedis.
    • Dermatitis on the feet can be caused by various factors, including allergic reactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis to shoe allergens in children with foot dermatitis.
    • To determine the efficacy of allergen avoidance in managing this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Patch testing was performed on children with foot dermatitis, focusing on shoe allergens.
    • Children with positive patch tests were advised to avoid identified allergens.
    • A 2-year follow-up was conducted to assess disease recurrence.

    Main Results:

    • 42% of children with dermatitis on the dorsum of the feet showed positive patch tests to shoe allergens.
    • Children with dermatitis on the weight-bearing plantar surface (juvenile plantar dermatosis) did not exhibit positive patch tests.
    • All patients who avoided allergens remained disease-free at 2-year follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis to shoe allergens is a significant cause of foot dermatitis in children, particularly when affecting the foot's upper surface.
    • Allergen avoidance is an effective treatment strategy for this condition.
