Dermatitis plantaris sicca: a retrospective study of children with recurrent dermatitis of the feet.
19 patients with recurrent dermatitis of the feet were re-examined in order to review the atopic predisposition, and the duration of the disease. 14 patients (74%) had a history of atopy, vis-à-vis 31.5% in the control group. In 8 patients (42%) the dermatitis persisted beyond puberty, though in a clinically considerably milder condition.
