Intertrigo Treatments

Intertrigo treatments are used to manage and alleviate the symptoms of intertrigo, a common inflammatory skin condition that occurs in skin folds due to friction, moisture, and bacterial or fungal overgrowth. These treatments aim to reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote healing of the affected areas. Treatment strategies typically include maintaining dry skin folds, applying barrier creams or ointments, using antifungal or antibacterial medications if an infection is present, and in some cases, using topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
