The pediatric foot dermatoses known as tinea pedis, shoe dermatitis, and juvenile plantar dermatosis are seen commonly in clinical practice. A knowledge of the clinical presentations and causes of these disorders can help pediatric and family nurse practitioners identify, diagnose, and treat childhood rashes of the feet. ⋯ However, a 1992 study disputes this claim. Any child who has an atypical or persistent foot rash will need a referral or consultation.
