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.
