It is also prone to secondary bacterial infections and may be purulent.
In the dry type, dry fixed scales are seen.
The vesicular type is most common on the arch, heel, and sides of the foot. Small blisters with mild redness, dotted or overlapping, often with strong itching. The lumps dry in about a week, peel off, and then new lumps form in other parts and gradually spread.

The hyperkeratotic type can be formed on the entire sole of the foot, centering on the heel. The skin on the soles of the feet is hard and thick, touches rough, and produces fine scales. There is almost no itch. It can cause cracks and cracks, and when it gets worse, it is painful, but no small blisters or sores are observed.
