So make sure you keep your son shoes in good condition and replace them before they deteriorate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help for you today. So you meant your son has atopic dermatitis (eczema) on his foot? Foot eczema is most commonly known as juvenile plantar eczema. It happens easily when there is heat and humidity that causes feet to sweat. The synthetic materials and chemicals shoes makes the eczema worse. When the shoe that makes sweat accumulates, the eczema will get worse also. And you should not cover his feet by wearing socks made of wool or polyester. You should choose the shoe that allows his skin on the feet to breath, example cotton shoes, shoes that have a padding or gel soles, soft leather children's shoes, that allows air to easily circulate around his feet and make sure that his feet do not sweat. Choose the shoe that is wide enough for his feet. Replace shoes regularly because old shoes can harbour bacteria. So make sure you keep your son shoes in good condition and replace them before they deteriorate.


I hope that I can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I Hope your son has good health.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
