removing moisture from the area using absorbent fabrics or body powders, including plain cornstarch and judiciously used antiperspirants. Greases, oils, and barrier ointments may help by protecting skin from moisture and from friction. Antifungal powders, most commonly clotrimazole 1%, may also be used in conjunction with a barrier ointment. Diaper rash ointment can also help. Fungal infections associated with intertrigo may be treated with prescription antifungals applied directly to the skin (in most cases) or systemic antifungals, including fluconazole, nystatin, and griseofulvin. Intertrigo is also a known symptom of vitamin B6 deficiency.
