Intertriginous Candidiasis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Intertriginous candidiasis is a skin infection caused by a fungus of the Candida genus that develops in the body's folds, where moisture and friction create an environment favorable to its growth.
Where does it appear and how? It affects areas such as the armpits, groin, under the breasts, or between the toes, and is usually noticed as redness, itching, and irritated skin in those folds.
Conditions that favor it: heat, sweating, sustained moisture, and continuous contact between skin surfaces contribute to its appearance.
Whom to consult? Its evaluation corresponds to the dermatologist, to the pediatric dermatologist in children, and at times relies on the clinical pathologist to confirm the cause. If the discomfort persists, the advisable thing is to have it examined by a professional.
