Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2022 AB - Intertrigo is caused by the macerating effect of heat, moisture, and friction. It is especially likely to occur in obese persons and in humid climates. The symptoms are itching, stinging, and burning. The body folds develop fissures, erythema, maceration, and superficial denudation (eFigure 6–23). Candidiasis may complicate intertrigo (eFigure 6–35). “Inverse psoriasis (eFigure 6–36),” seborrheic dermatitis, tinea cruris, erythrasma (eFigure 6–37), and candidiasis must be ruled out.
