Overview
The common risk factors for dermatophytosis are xerosis (dry skin), skin-skin contact with an infected person, contact with infected pets, topical immunosupressive drugs, low socioeconomic status, occlusive footwear, high humidity, rural settlement, poor hygiene, excessive sweating, public showers, obesity, diabetes mellitus. Less common risk factors for dermatophytosis are occupational (farmer, worker and retired), presence of fungal infection in the family, cancer and psoriasis.
