Answer 1

Conglobata

Acne conglobata is a highly inflammatory form of severe, disfiguring acne with the formation of communicating cysts. Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease, affecting 85% of the population between 12 and 25 years of age. Noninflammatory acne results in lesions that are either closed or open comedones. Inflammatory acne develops in closed comedones when the follicular wall ruptures.

Answer 2

Candida albicans

C. albicans is associated with diaper dermatitis. Several factors cause diaper dermatitis, including urine, feces, and airtight plastic diaper covers. Tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the feet. Both group A S. pyogenes and S. aureus may cause impetigo.
