Erythrasma is a chronic, non-inflammatory, slightly contagious skin disease caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium minutissimum.
The pathogen parasitizes in the superficial stratum corneum of the epidermis in the area of large folds - inguinal-femoral, axillary, under the mammary glands. Here spots of brick-red or yellow-pink color appear with clear boundaries, painless and not itchy. The surface of the spots is smooth, sometimes with slight flaking.
Predisposing factors are increased sweating, high temperature and humidity, and violation of personal hygiene rules. Erythrasma does not occur in children.
