AB Intertrigo  is  a  dermatitis  occurring  on  opposed  surfaces  of  skin,  such  as  the  creases  of  the  neck,  folds  of  the  groin  and  armpit,  or  a  panniculus.  It  is  characterized  by  a  tender,  red  patch  or  plaque  with  a  moist,  macerated  surface.  The  juxtaposed  skin  surfaces  create  a  chronic  friction,  and  this  can  easily  become  suprainfected  with  candida,  fungal,  or  bacterial  infections.
