Abstract
Canine atopic dermatitis is frequently accompanied by intertrigo (skin fold dermatitis). This can cause significant clinical signs including pruritus, odour and pain in affected skin folds. Control of the underlying atopic dermatitis alone may not be enough to resolve these signs. This paper discusses the presentation, diagnosis and management of this common problem.
