Intertrigo is an inflammatory [[skin condition]] of skin folds exposed to friction or maceration in the presence of heat and moisture.<ref name="webmd">Selden, Samuel [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1087691-overview Intertrigo]. emedicine, WebMD. March 9, 2007. Accessed May 21, 2009.</ref> Intertrigo is worsened by infection, usually fungal ([[Candida (fungus)|Candida]] yeast species), but also bacterial or viral; warm, wet underarms promote those growths. The condition results in rash-like symptoms, [[pustule]]s, or chronic itching or burning in the underarm.<ref name="webmd" /> Intertrigo (in any site) has no racial or sexual predilection.<ref name=webmd/>  Axillary intertrigo is common among those who work in hot environments where air circulation is restricted by necessary clothing or safety equipment.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/intertrigo-symptoms-causes-treatment-risk_factors_|title=Intertrigo|last=Gardner |first=Stephanie S |date=14 June 2020 |website=WebMD  |access-date=June 22, 2021}}</ref>
