Erythrasma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Erythrasma is a superficial skin infection caused by a bacterium that thrives in warm, moist areas of the body, such as the groin, the armpits, or the folds between the toes.
How it presents: pink to brown patches appear, with well-defined borders and fine scaling; it usually causes little or no discomfort, although at times it produces mild itching.
Factors that promote it: heavy sweating, heat, humidity, and friction in the skin folds create a favorable environment for it to develop.
Which specialist should you see? The one who evaluates and provides guidance on this type of skin condition is the dermatologist. If you notice persistent patches in the skin folds, it is worth having them checked by this professional to confirm what they are.
