Sweet Scratching |
Today's read reflects one of the "cause and effect" of tight underwear.......
INTERTRIGO!!!
Intertrigo (pronounced
inter-try-go) is an inflammatory condition of skin folds, induced or aggravated
by heat, moisture, friction, and lack of air circulation.....all things ---- a
tight underwear (bra, panties, boxers, body shape wear) ---- can cause.
Too Tight |
Intertrigo frequently is worsened by infection, which
most commonly is candidal.
The affected area typically harbors bacteria, fungus
and yeast which all can worsen infection.
It commonly affects the armpit, the groin, aka "the
there as i like to call it", under the breasts, in between the bum cheeks and tummy folds----for those who have this.
