How Long Does It Take To Cure Intertrigo?

I have been diagnsed with Intertrigo which developed due to an outdoor activity in a very hot and humid weather near my groin and inner thigh area. I used Dermacobin and now using Onabet-B cream however seems like the redness is increasing rather than becoming dull.
I want to know how long it might take to be cured completely.

Welcome to healthcare magic,

Intertrigo is very common skin rash that appears between folds of skin- armpits, beneath breasts, abdominal zone or genital area, between toes etc.
Have in mind that intertrigo sometimes does not come alone but accompanied with bacterial or fungal infection !! So you have to cure them as well ! Treatment for intertrigo is simple if you keep your skin dry and clean it will be gone soon- less than a week !
