Sweat rash

Sweat rash is common in the summer, and it can affect you more if you do a lot of sports. It normally shows up as a red rash on your skin.

Also known as candida intertrigo, sweat rash is a superficial skin inflammation caused by yeast and bacteria. It develops in areas of your body where moisture becomes trapped, as Candida yeast multiplies easily when your skin conditions change, becoming warmer and more humid.

Understanding sweat rash

Humidity, friction and lack of ventilation all contribute to sweat rash. That's why you will find that it shows up in skin folds or areas that normally stay covered. It's also why physical exercise can make symptoms more pronounced.

Sweat rash treatment

It’s always best to start treating your Candida-associated sweat rash early with topical products like creams or sprays.

Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may be recommended treatments containing the anti-fungal or the milder anti-inflammatory hydrocortisone.  

Canesten offers products containing both of these ingredients.
