The topography of these lesions (specific and nonspecific) is suggestive of the diagnosis when they are located in the interdigital spaces (between the fingers), on the anterior surface of the wrists, at the elbows, in the armpits, on the buttocks, around the navel, on the inner thighs, especially in the genital area in men, and on the breasts in women.

The back and face are usually spared.
