    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Inflammatory Dermatoses

    Context:

    • Intertrigo affects skin folds, exacerbated by friction, moisture, and occlusion.
    • Secondary infections with bacteria, yeast, or fungi can worsen the condition.
    • Allergic contact dermatitis may arise from irritant antiseptics.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the inflammatory dermatosis known as intertrigo.
    • To outline predisposing factors and exacerbating elements of intertrigo.
    • To recommend treatment strategies for intertrigo.

    Summary:

    • Intertrigo is characterized by inflammation in skin folds.
    • Key contributing factors include friction, obesity, sweating, and occlusion.
    • Treatment focuses on meticulous skin drying, topical antimicrobials, and correcting predisposing factors.
