title: Dermatitis of the feet.
abstract: Most rashes that occur on the feet are due to eczema, infections, or shoe dermatitis. But which are which? Fortunately, distinguishing among these common skin diseases requires just a little basic knowledge of dermatology and familiarity with two simple diagnostic tests. Two case reports illustrate the authors' approach to diagnosis, treatment, and patient education.
