[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Like the hands, the feet are extensions of the body that have very specific, important functions. The skin that covers the feet is equally as specially designed and is divided into two sections: the dorsal skin and the plantar skin, each with different functions and innervation. The boundary between one and the other can be easily spotted when it comes to certain skin conditions that affect only one of the two areas, for example in cases of psoriasis or plantar hyperkeratosis. <\/p>\n

The figures below show cases of psoriasis. However, the condition affects only the dorsal region of the foot and spares the plantar in Figure 1; while in Figure 2, the condition affects the plantar and not the dorsal skin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”1237,1238″ img_size=”220×220″][vc_column_text]As shown in both Figures 1 and 2, the plantar region includes the edges of the foot, which is further evidence of a clear demarcation between the two areas of the skin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
