Question 6

what is best soap to use for daily showers with intertrigo?

Accepted Answer

Best Soap: Does this almost universally thought to be the best and mildest cleanser going. This is not really a "soap" as much as it is a cleanser which has softening properties. We really like dove bar best and i would not use any liquid soaps because they are all more drying than just about any bar soap going. Same goes for intertrigo but there are other ways to help that, including powders like caldesene.

Fungal infection: try Lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream untill you can see your doctor

Question 9

Question 10

i have intertrigo on my scrotum. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Deep breath: Intertrigo is a fancy name for a rash that shows up between the folds of skin. It is a very common skin rash that can crop up throughout life.  Maybe its fungus..your a young guy...are producing a lot of hormones and maybe are sweating a lot.  Try to keep yourself dry, and clean.  Change your underwear a couple times a day.  You may try some jock itch spray.  Bottom line..no big deal.
