Skin (feet): Multifocal proliferative and ulcerative dermatitis.

As seen here, in the cutaneous form of pox, proliferative lesions may develop on the feet and digits.
Pathologic description: 
The skin of the feet and digits is distorted by multiple, poorly-demarcated, slightly raised, encrusted lesions that are particularly prominent on the dorsum of the foot at the top of the picture. The majority of the lesions are brown, replace the normal scales of the foot and extend into the interdigital spaces. Many of the lesions, especially those between the toes, are red and wet.
