Under certain conditions, fungal skin infections (intertrigo) can develop in moist areas, such as the skin folds of the stomach, under the breasts and between the fingers and toes. Symptoms of fungal infections include severe redness, flaking, itching and blisters.1 Sometimes infections are associated with a bad odor from the infected area.
Risk factors for the development of fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo) include antibiotic treatment, obesity, conditions associated with an impaired immune system and warm and moist environments.
The most common treatment strategy for fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo) is topical antifungal creams and ointments. They leave greasy and sticky residues on the skin that can cause irritation, and may also cause other side effects as well as risk of resistance development. Sorbact® Ribbon Gauze offers a solution for easy treatment of fungal infection in skin folds (intertrigo). No creams or ointments are needed.
