Hi,
intertrigo The aim of treatment is to: reduce the rubbing of skin on skin, keep the area dry, reduce inflammation and moisture, treat any infection and stop it spreading. Treatment such as barrier creams, steroid creams, anti-fungal creams and antibiotic creams or tablets may also help. You can ask your GP or pharmacist about these.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
