Severe skin inflammation at armpit (warm, moist fold of skin) Streptococcal intertrigo is a skin condition that is secondary to a streptococcal bacterial infection. It is often seen in infants and young children and can be characterized by a fiery-red color of the skin, foul odor with an absence of satellite lesions, [1] and skin softening (due to moisture) in the neck, armpits or folds of the ...
