Erythrasma

Erythrasma is a type of superficial skin infection which results in causing the brown and scaly patches of skin. The skin condition of erythrasma makes the skin very sensitive and more vulnerable to get athlete’s foot by the attack of tidea fungus. The causative agent of erythrasma is a bacterium known as corynebacterium minutissimum bacterium, which is also a part of healthy skin microflora, just like tidea fungus. Personal hygiene and cleaning play a significant role in the acquiring of this bacterial infection, so try to avoid contaminated places and wash your hands properly.
