Intertrigo

Definition

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.
