Intertrigo (skin to skin)
A common infection of the skin among the population is Intertrigo. The infection is generally a result of the fungi present on the skin. Intertrigo is an inflammatory condition of skin folds, induced or aggravated by heat, moisture, maceration, friction, and lack of air circulation. The condition frequently is worsened or colonized by infection, which most commonly is candidal but also may be bacterial, fungal, or viral. Intertrigo is a common complication of obesity and diabetes and in hot environments (incl. sports). Intertrigo usually is chronic with insidious onset of itching, burning, and stinging in skin folds.
