ABSTRACT

Clinical aspect: Progressively enlarging erythematous-to-brownish scaling patches arising in the inguinal folds and expanding in the vulvar area and inner thighs (Figure 12.1.1). The intergluteal cleft may also be affected. Friction and a warm and moist environment may favor maceration and the onset of pruritus, but most cases are asymptomatic. Patch of erythema and hyperpigmentation with sharp and slightly scaling edges on the left inguinocrural crease: erythrasma. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429160967/163b7f5e-cc4b-49c3-bdf2-114d4fa08aec/content/fig12_1_1.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
