Treatment of Intertrigo Associated with Seborrheic Dermatitis or Atopic Dermatitis

When intertrigo occurs in a patient with concurrent seborrheic dermatitis or atopic dermatitis, the presence of these chronic inflammatory skin conditions shapes the clinical approach to managing intertriginous inflammation.

This protocol addresses intertrigo in the specific context of an underlying diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis or atopic dermatitis — two conditions that influence how skin fold inflammation is assessed and treated.
Management in this setting involves a low-potency topical corticosteroid approach. The complete regimen — including agent selection, application guidance, and clinical decision criteria — is available in the full structured protocol.

Low-potency topical steroids can also be useful to treat intertrigo associated with seborrheic or atopic dermatitis.
