Sweat Rash - (candidal intertrigo)
 |
|
Sweat rash (candidal intertrigo, or 'thrush' of the skin-folds) is a sore, itchy red rash that occurs when sweat builds up on the skin, upsetting the balance of microbes which in turn causes soreness, itchiness or inflammation. It is most likely to occur as a result of sweating during exercise or warm weather, where skin rubs together (such as under arms, breasts, behind the knees or in the groin area) or where clothes rub against the skin.
It can be treated using a cream, spray or powder containing Hydrocortisone (HC) and an antifungal agent such as Clotrimazole.
Sweat rash is sometimes confused with jock itch (tinea cruris) which is actually ringworm of the groin. Both infections can be easily treated with an antifungal cream.
