| Intertrigo |
|
|
| Intertrigo is an inflammatory condition of skin folds, induced or aggravated by heat, moisture, maceration, friction and lack of air circulation. The condition frequently worsened or colonized by infection, which most commonly is candidal but also may be bacterial, fungal or viral. Intertrigo commonly affects the axilla, perineum, inframammary creases and abdominal folds. Diaper dermatitis shows significant overlap with intertrigo. Intertrigo is a common complication of obesity and diabetes. |
