Intertrigo - Treatment

Cuidados en el hogar:

Bajar de peso y mantener el cuerpo moviéndose a menudo puede ayudar, al igual que mantener abiertas las áreas de piel plegada con toallas secas o airear las áreas húmedas con abanicos. Use ropas sueltas.

Se debe llamar al médico si:

Consulte con el médico si:

  • La afección no desaparece a pesar de los buenos cuidados en el hogar
  • Se disemina más allá de un pliegue cutáneo

Lo que se puede esperar en el consultorio médico:

El médico con frecuencia puede realizar el diagnóstico de intertrigo simplemente mirando la piel.

Las opciones de tratamiento para el intertrigo incluyen:

  • Una crema antibiótica o antimicótica aplicada a la piel
  • Un agente desecante, como los baños con Domeboro
  • Una crema esteroide en dosis baja
