Intertrigo typically affects areas such as the groin, underarms, under the breasts, and skin folds. The combination of moisture, heat, and friction in these regions creates an ideal environment for inflammation, redness, and sometimes even secondary infections.
Finding the best products to manage intertigo can be overwhelming, considering the wide range of options available in the market. Below is a list of products known for their ability to soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and provide effective relief picked by Dr. Buehler.
Balmex protects, soothes and helps heal irritated, chapped and chafed skin affected by adult incontinence, heat rash, chafing and more in the most sensitive areas of the body.
In addition to the above, it is recommended to see a provider for prescription medications that can be used during flare ups.
