Abstrakti
Intertrigo is an inflammatory dermatosis involving the body folds. Predisposing factors include constant friction opposing skin surfaces, obesity, sweating and occlusion. Colonization with bacteria, yeast and dermatophytes may exacerbate the dermatosis. Irritant antiseptics may aggravate intertrigo and provoke an allergic contact dermatitis. Treatment consists in careful drying the skin. Antimicrobial agents topically applied may be helpful. Predisposing factors should be corrected carefully.
