It's pretty common in little kids, especially ones in childcare, but that's because kids tend to have a lot of casual physical contact with each other, and also a lot of families aren't careful about sharing of towels. Mostly in kids if you can get them to stop scratching it and spreading the infection their immune system overcomes it within a year. In adults sexual contact is by far the most common method of infection, and when the infection is being batted back and forth between two or more members of a relationship it can drag on for ages as they reinfect each other. In people who are immune-compromised it can be a long term problem, extensive and disfiguring.
Oh well... come to Doctor Eljay for a diagnoses of pregnancy, leave with a diagnoses of STD. It's all good!
