How Can Intertrigo Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed with intertrigo and am to treat it with Alcortin A. I am scheduled to have thyroid tests done next week. I don t think I should have the t tests done at that time. And, I have had cataracts surgery and need to return to ophthamologist for check scar tissue I have developed since surgery. Should I be taking this drug at this time?

Hello,

Intertrigo has got no relation with cataract surgery.

You can apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
