ABSTRACT

Clinical aspect: Diffuse inguinal reddening and erythema (Figures 2.1.1 and 2.1.2) is a common finding, often more intense at the follicular openings with an overall uniformly “spotted” appearance; edema, oozing, malodorous maceration, and fissuring may ensue in acute stages, whereas lichenification and peripheral postinflammatory hyperpigmentation are typical of longstanding, chronic forms. Acute intertrigo with prominent erythema of the inguinal folds. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429160967/163b7f5e-cc4b-49c3-bdf2-114d4fa08aec/content/fig2_1_1.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> Acute intertrigo of inguinal folds extending to the perineal cleft. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429160967/163b7f5e-cc4b-49c3-bdf2-114d4fa08aec/content/fig2_1_2.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
