- Pitted keratolysis
Pitted keratolysis, also known as Sweaty & stinky sock syndrome, is a
skin infection that can be caused by wearing tight or restricting footwear and excessive sweating during exercise. The infection is characterized by craterlike pits on the surface of the feet and toes, particularlyweight bearing areas. Treatment consists of the application of topical antibiotics. After discontinuation of the antibotical creme, be sure to change socks frequently. After excercise be sure to thoroughly clean your feet. Dry after cleaning so they do not remain warm and most. Bacteria, what causes this, thrives in these environments. [cite web | last =
