HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fungal infections tend to occur in moist areas.
This is the reason these infections are more common in the folds of the skin.
It is important to eliminate friction and heat as much as possible.
This can be accomplished in different ways such as : (1) using absorbant powders and exposing the areas to air
(2)compresses with burrow solution (1:40), dilute vinegar or wet tea bags is often effective especially if followed by fanning or cool blow drying
(3)avoid tight or occlusive clothing
(4)skin surfaces should be kept separated by cotton or linen clothes
(5)anti fungal creams and a few days of application topical steroid
I hope this helps
