GlossaryIntertrigo

skin inflammation in body folds due to friction and moisture

Intertrigo is a skin condition characterized by inflammation and irritation that occurs in body folds where skin surfaces rub together, such as under the breasts, in the groin, or between the toes. It is often exacerbated by moisture, heat, and lack of air circulation, and can lead to secondary infections by bacteria or fungi.
