AB A  17-year-old  boy  comes  to  the  office  with  a  terrible  foot  odor  problem.  He  is  wearing  cowboy  boots  and  he  says  that  his  feet  are  always  sweaty.  He  is  embarrassed  to  remove  his  boots,  but  when  his  mother  convinces  him  to  do  so  the  odor  is  unpleasant.  The  clinician  sees  the  typical  pits  of  pitted  keratolysis  and  notes  that  the  boy’s  socks  are  moist.  His  foot  has  many  crateriform  pits  on  the  sole  (Figure  101-1).  He  is  prescribed  topical  erythromycin  solution  for  the  pitted  keratolysis  and  topical  aluminum  chloride  for  the  hyperhidrosis.  It  is  suggested  that  he  wear  a  lighter  and  more  breathable  shoe  until  this  problem  improves.
