Let’s rule out differential diagnoses:

• Psoriasis:

The diagnosis of psoriasis can in theory be ruled out given the absence of scales and psoriasiform lesions on the rest of the tegument and the lack of a personal history of psoriasis.

• Eczema:

The diagnosis of eczema can in theory be ruled out due to the absence of pruritus and the lack of a dermatological history.

• Mycosis:

Mycosis can in theory be ruled out given the immediate involvement of both hands and both feet with a sensation of pain.
