On the feet
HH represents a favourite medium to trigger a host of dermatological diseases such as : pitted keratolysis, bromhidrosis, tinea pedis, eczema, dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx), contact dermatitis, friction blisters, warts, frostbites in skiers and outside workers in sub zero temperatures, soft calluses
between the 4th and 5th toes and even ingrown nails. On the other hand, shoes will be burnt and destroyed by the sweat at an accelerated rate. There has been a case report where combined Gram negative and fungal infections on the feet have resisted intravenous antibiotics in the presence of HH.
