thema is still yet to be completely defined, we agree with the authors that it may have a microbial basis and we support their suggestion that anti-microbial therapy is effective for this condition. Regarding the question of which microbe might be causally related we have noticed that this condition appears to spare skin folds which are typically exposed to sunlight and are well aerated, so this may suggest that a UV susceptible and moisture seeking microbe might be involved. Future cellular and molecular microbiome studies would greatly add to our understanding of the aetiology of this difficult to treat condition.
