Intertrigo

What is Intertrigo?

Inflammation in skin folds (under the breasts, abdomen, thighs, armpits) from friction, moisture and secondary bacterial or fungal infection.

Chronic intertrigo that has not responded to three months or more of medical therapy is the most-cited medical-necessity criterion for insurers covering panniculectomy and other post-weight-loss contouring.
