Hello,

Since in summer we sit a lot, this can give rise to skin infections especially in the palms and soles. I myself do encounter this time and again. Please understand that there are many infections which can occur most common is fungal in origin but bacterial and viral are also seen.

The first thing I do when a patient walks in is to do a detailed physical examination. the site, size, shape of the lesion is very helpful in establishing a diagnosis and then prescribe medication accordingly. As such it is straight forward and no tests are required. The root cause is generally excess sweating. topical steroids and anti-fungal are commonly what I prescribe and they have shown good results on many occasions.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
