Possible Skin Conditions

Here you will find information on the conditions that can affect the top of the feet in adults. This area of the foot is often spared by the many conditions that can affect the feet. However, a massive athlete's foot infection may extend over the top of the foot. If the skin becomes infected, particularly in a person with diabetes, cellulitis can take over. As with any area that is exposed to the sun, sun-induced conditions from sunburn to melanoma can affect this part of the foot. Granuloma annulare is a skin condition that involves painless rising of the skin that can occur on the top of the foot.
