title: Smelly foot rash.
abstract: A previously healthy Caucasian girl, 6 years of age, presented with pruritic rash on both heels of 6 months duration. The lesions appeared as multiple depressions 1-2 mm in diameter that progressively increased in size. There was no history of trauma or insect bite. She reported local pain when walking, worse with moisture and wearing sneakers. On examination, multiple small craterlike depressions were present, some coalescing into a larger lesion on both heels (Figure 1). There was an unpleasant 'cheesy' odour and a moist appearance. Wood lamp examination and potassium hydroxide testing for fungal hyphae were negative.
