Obesity and Skin Problems
In addition to being a major risk factor for many diseases, there are a number of skin problems related to obesity. Obesity results in extra folds of skin that may be difficult to clean properly. These folds create a warm, moist environment that is ideal for many types of bacteria and fungi. Obesity can also lead to insulin resistance and insufficiency of the veins, which also causes certain skin conditions.
