As a medical professional, I can provide you with information on various health conditions. When it comes to skin conditions, there are many types, and one such condition is Intertrigo Candida.
Intertrigo is a type of skin inflammation that occurs in the folds of the skin, where there is a lot of friction and moisture. This condition can be exacerbated by heat, sweating, and tight clothing. When this inflammation is caused by a fungal infection, specifically by the yeast known as Candida, it is referred to as Intertrigo Candida.
The signs and symptoms of Intertrigo Candida typically include redness, itching, burning, and sometimes a rash with a yeasty smell. It's more common in areas where the skin touches skin, such as under the breasts, in the armpits, in skin folds around the neck, and in the groin area.
Treatment for Intertrigo Candida usually involves keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams or ointments, and sometimes taking oral antifungal medications if the infection is widespread or persistent.
