Pitted Keratolysis is a common condition caused by bacteria thriving in sweaty feet, and the good news is that it is easily treatable with proper care. Treatment usually includes topical antibiotics such as clindamycin or erythromycin creams, and sometimes antibacterial washes, as advised by a doctor. Equally important are daily habits like keeping your feet clean and completely dry, washing them regularly, drying well between the toes, wearing breathable footwear, changing socks frequently, and avoiding tight or non-ventilated shoes; using foot powders or antiperspirants can help reduce sweating, which is the main trigger. With consistent treatment and good foot hygiene, the condition usually clears within a few weeks and can be prevented from coming back.
