Erythema intertrigo - what does this mean
Erythema intertrigo is a skin condition caused by the combination of friction, heat, and moisture which create an environment that allows for the growth of bacteria and fungus. this leads to redness, itching, and inflammation of the skin folds, usually in the armpits, groin, and areas around the breasts.
What happens during the disease - erythema intertrigo
Erythema intertrigo is a skin condition caused by an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria that typically occurs in areas of the body where skin touches skin, such as the armpits, groin, and under the breasts. it is caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and friction, which can create a warm, moist environment that allows the fungus and bacteria to thrive. it can also be caused by a weakened immune system, which can allow the bacteria and yeast to grow unchecked, resulting in an itchy, red rash. treatment typically involves the use of antifungal and antibacterial creams, as well as keeping the affected area dry and clean.
