Intertrigo is a condition that typically happens when a certain part of the body is not cleaned properly or has a great deal of moisture as well as folds of skin that are constantly rubbing each other. There are several different warning signs to look out for. The first half that will be talking about is particular areas of the body where the condition can present itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Armpits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What you will notice is that you are able to clean most of the area but when you get out of the shower the painful itching or redness will come back. This will require you to get in the shower again and clean the area more thoroughly. The best way that you can combat this is by using a washrag that has been soaked in antibacterial or other kinds of soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
