- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoInfecciones cutáneas secundarias a una hiperhidrosis focal primaria y su tratamiento.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cruz Bravo, Carlos Andrés; Arias Peláez, María Cristina; 0302395991Introduction: Primary focal hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating in specific body areas, such as the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the armpits, and the craniofacial region. Constant sweating can lead to skin maceration, increasing susceptibility to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Objective: To determine the skin infections secondary to primary focal hyperhidrosis and their treatment. Methodology: A literature review was conducted on scientific databases such as Scopus, Taylor & Francis, UpToDate, and PubMed. Results: Secondary infections to focal hyperhidrosis include fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. Management consists of antifungal medications, antibiotics, and ablative therapy, respectively. Clotrimazole 1% is used twice daily for 2-4 weeks for dermatophytosis mainly caused by Trichophyton rubrum (70%). In punctate keratolysis, the main agent is Corynebacterium spp. (92.2%-100%), treated with erythromycin 4% every 12 hours for 2-3 weeks. Warts caused by HPV frequently subtypes 1, 2, and 4 (80%) are treated with salicylic acid 17%-50% daily for 6-12 weeks. Keywords: hyperhidrosis, infectious skin diseases, sweat, treatment.
