Intertrigo in Adults
Causes of the disease
Intertrigo is a skin irritation caused mainly in areas prone to sweating. In areas with increased skin-to-skin friction and prolonged exposure to body fluids, sweat and sebum accumulate, leading to bacterial growth, irritation, and inflammation.
Dermaguard in Treatment of Intertrigo

- it reduces the multiplication of bacteria
- it lasts up to 6 hours and does not require reapplication after washing

When and How to Use Dermaguard
If you suffer from intertrigo frequently, it is appropriate to use Dermaguard as a preventive measure whenever you are going to be exposed to more physical exertion, stay in a warm environment or travel for a long time in a sitting position. Dermaguard can also be used when initial symptoms of intertrigo, such as slightly reddened and sweaty skin, occur. The cream is applied to skin washed with lukewarm water and dried by patting or blowing. Rub a small amount that is easily absorbed into the skin. Do not use the cream on acute red, inflamed, swollen or cracked areas. Such conditions should be treated first and the cream should only be used on soothed skin. Dermaguard can be used on any part of the body, except the mucous membranes.
