Pododermatitis (odrgnjene pete)
Also known as: „Odrgnjene pete“
Pododermatitis, splošno imenovan „odrgnjene pete“, je razjedena kožna bolezen, ki prizadene spodnjo stran zadnjih tac in skočnih sklepov kunca. Nastane zaradi kroničnega pritiska in trenja na kožo, ki ga poslabšajo trda ali mrežasta tla, debelost, nedejavnost, slaba higiena in nezadostna debelina dlačne blazinice. Lezije segajo od izpadanja dlake in pordelosti do globokih razjed in abscesov, v napredovalih primerih pa je lahko prizadeta kost. Bolezen je boleča in nagnjena k vztrajanju.
