These areas of skin that are in contact with each other are referred to as the intertriginous zones. Try prescription zvytone Cream or Dermazene. Nails are another condition.

Question 6

what could erythema be during a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Colon erythyema: Colon "erythema" just means the colonic lining looked redder-colored than was expected.  This can be due to infection, inflammation, ischemia, but it can also be due to mechanical abrasion from the colonoscope, the chemical used to prep your colon, or even staining from having eaten red-colored foods before your test. Your doctor may have taken a biopsy to elucidate cause--give him a call please.

Question 7

Supportive care: You first want to identify & remove any trigger, like a strep infection that can be treated or food that is setting off the reaction. The rest is supportive. Fluids as tolerated or by IV if not. Meds for itching if a problem. Anti inflammatory steroids are standard to calm the reaction, used in treatment doses first & withdrawn as the reaction fades.
