Itchy, red, scaly feet send patients down the antifungal aisle whether fungus is the cause or not. A foot & ankle dermatitis poster shows the differential — eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis — so patients arrive open to the real diagnosis.
What the poster covers
- The look-alikes: how eczema, contact dermatitis, and tinea pedis resemble each other — and why diagnosis requires evaluation, not guessing.
- Common triggers: shoe materials, laundry products, topical allergens — the detective work of contact dermatitis.
- Care basics: moisturization, trigger avoidance, and when topical steroids are appropriate.
- When to escalate: spreading, weeping, or infected skin that needs prompt care.
Ending the antifungal guessing game
Patients who've seen the differential accept a non-fungal diagnosis gracefully instead of insisting on antifungals. The poster pre-negotiates the diagnosis.
