Abstract

This article explores the common skin condition of intertrigo, exacerbated by factors like obesity and the use of intimate hygiene products. Here, we present an obese pregnant woman with extensive intertrigo and irritant contact dermatitis due to prolonged use of feminine hygiene washes. Discontinuation of harsh products and a tailored treatment regimen led to significant improvement within a week. The discussion highlights the potential risks associated with overusing intimate hygiene products, emphasizing the need for education on female intimate hygiene. The study contributes valuable insights for promoting women’s overall health.
