- Floods in Thailand often lead to skin diseases, particularly infectious dermatoses like eczema and fungal infections, but microbiological causes have not been thoroughly studied.
- A study evaluated 96 patients with skin issues during a flood in October 2006, finding eczema was the most common, especially irritant contact dermatitis, with a subset of patients also experiencing skin maceration in toe web spaces.
