Brief Answer:
Regarding intertrigo

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and noted your concern.

Candida is a yeast and is a common cause of intertrigo which is inflammation of body folds like groins, sub mammary and axillary. I suggest you to use an antifungal dusting powder e.g clotrimazole dusting powder, 2-3 times a day. It would keep the folds dry and is also antifungal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
