What is intertigo?

• Intertrigo = inflammation of large skin folds Inframammary fold, gluteal cleft, inguinal creases, and folds under pannus (abdomen) • Up to 10% of intertrigo is complicated by Candida yeast colonization Classic symptom: burns more than itches • Classic sign: satellite macules, papules, or pustules around the erythema in the fold • KOH exam may reveal pseudohyphae, but fungal culture may be more sensitive than KOH for Candida
