Skin Fold Irritation is Worse in Hot Weather




With the heat wave spreading over the United States this summer many of my patients are struggling with the effect of heat and moisture in skin folds such as:

1). Abdominal skin fold

2). Skin folds under breasts

3). Groins

4). In skin folds in the inner thighs

5). Other skin folds

The best treatment for this problem I have ever found is a product you can find at nearly any pharmacy. It is called ZeaSorb-AF. This is a nearly odorless, white powder seaweed product with an added anti-fungal agent.

I think this product is much better than corn starch or baby powder.

After showering, dry the areas well with a dry towel and apply this powder liberally in the skin folds to keep the areas dry and treat any fungal infection that may be starting in these locations.

I hope this helps you stay more comfortable during hot humid days and nights of summer.

  1. Gold Bond lotion (lots of cheaper, generic versions out there too) I apply every day and have never had any issues with irritation!
