A little-ok: Intertrigo is inflammation which is caused by skin-to-skin friction, most often in warm, moist areas of the body, Intertrigo generally clears up if the affected areas are kept very clean and dry. If bacterial or fungal infection develops at the site of your intertrigo medication may be indicated. As long as the sun exposure is not at all excessive it should be alright.
