Intertrigo is what it's called and bacterial infection on top of that.

I read about using witch hazel to keep the "sweaty funk" down, so I started doing that .it really works!

I have always had yeast and recently intertrigo. Once I got things cleared up, I started using a whole body deodorant, and have had no problems with either since. I use Secret whole body deodorant stick. I never thought it would work, but it has been incredible, and so much easier than putting on powder. I just swipe the folds and I'm done. I will never go back to powder.

Yes as long as you are losing weight and getting healthier it will get better. I've had my fair share of skin infections at nearly 400 lbs and yes it's humbling and embarrassing to have these issues. Keep trying and don't ever give up. You can do this friend.

They gave me an antibiotic now too, it appeared overnight and now after a week is almost gone. It's painful and my first time getting one. I was so embarrassed by it. I'm trying so hard to loose weight 😭. I'm at 175, need at least 50 more pounds. I have lost 25. I hate my weight and how I look. Please let me know that this will be better. Thank you very much for the advice.
