Answer:

Yes, there are many diseases that have this symptom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the diseases is:

--- Athlete's foot: This disease is caused by poor personal hygiene can be alleviated by washing our feet daily, using fungicide in our shoes in case of suspicion and changing shoes.

--- Vaginal infections: To avoid this disease it is necessary to wash the female genitalia frequently and clean the area well after urinating (always from front to back).

--- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is an oral disease generally caused by bacteria and that produces an inflammation of the gums and their bleeding. To avoid suffering from this annoying disease, we have to avoid the accumulation of tartar through a good daily brushing of the teeth and tongue, along with the use of mouthwashes and dental floss.

And there are many more diseases caused by poor hygiene.
