Severe case of a condition called pitted keratolysis!
Pitted keratolysis is a superficial bacterial skin
infection that affects the soles of the feet, and less often, the palms of the hands. It is one of the causes of smelly feet. It is characterised by whitish skin and clusters of punched-out pits.
Pitted keratolysis is caused by several bacterial species, including corynebacteria, Dermatophilus congolensis, Kytococcus sedentarius, actinomyces and streptomyces.
The bacteria proliferate in moist conditions. The pitting is due to destruction of the corny cells (stratum corneum) by protease enzymes produced by the bacteria. The bad smell is due to sulfur compounds produced by the bacteria: thiols, sulfides and thioesters.
Treatment of pitted keratolysis requires the application of antibiotics to the skin such as benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, erythromycin, fusidic acid, or mupirocin. Prevention efforts aim to keep the feet dry by using moisture-wicking shoes and socks as well as antiperspirants.

It is because our behavior is important to others that it eventually becomes important to us.
B. F Skinner
We are nothing before we are shaped to be something, including the self of ourselves.

一咖一书一念珠，
一光一影一世界。
万般于我何相干，
相干不离我万般。
偷来半晌清闲日，
礼仙礼佛礼圣贤！

#Angelababy聚会合照# 人生有三位最好的老师： 一是兴趣。只有养成自己的兴趣，内心才有执着的追求。 二是苦难。你遭受的每一次苦难，都会在一生中的某个时候派上用场。人生最甜蜜的收获，都是从苦难中得来的。 三是爱。爱像口袋，往里装是幸福，往外拿就是成就感。 成功的人生，要用兴趣去追求，用苦难去磨砺，用爱去生活！There are three best teachers in life: one is interest. Only when we develop our interests, can we have persistent pursuit. Two is suffering. Every sufferings you suffer will come in handy at some time in your life. The sweetest harvest in life comes from suffering. Three is love. Love is like a pocket. It is happiness to dress inside. It is a sense of accomplishment to get outside. A successful life should be pursued with interest, hardship with suffering, and life with love.
