Immunity: Anything that lowers your immunity can cause increased skin infections. Most notable is diabetes or elevated sugar, as this predisposes the growth of bacteria and inhibits healing. Also, the texture of your skin and body hair plays a role; certain hair types tend to grow in more and cause pilonidal cysts and folliculitis.
