Overview
Impetigo is often associated with insect bites, cuts, and other forms of trauma to the skin.Humidity, obesity, corticosteroid use, chemotherapy, dysglobulinemias, leukemias and malnutrition are some other risk factors for impetigo.[1] Handwashing decreseas the incidence of impetigo by 34%.[2]
Risk Factors
Risk factors for impetigo include:[1][3][4]
- Abrasions
- Trauma
- Basic skin pH
- Lack of sebaceous secretions
- Humidity
- Obesity
- Corticosteroid use
- Chemotherapy
- Dysglobulinemias
- Leukemia
- Chronic granulomatous disease
- Diabetes
- Malnutrition
- Congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies e.g. AIDS
- Temprature around 37 C
