Candidiasis

Candidiasis is distinguished by its beefy-red color and the presence of characteristic satellite pustules and papules at the periphery of the main rash.

Darier's disease

Darier's presents with primary, greasy, keratotic papules, not just erythema and maceration from friction.

Eczema

This is a general term; intertrigo is a form of eczematous dermatitis localized to a skin fold.

Erythrasma

This bacterial infection is distinguished by its brownish, non-inflammatory appearance and its pathognomonic coral-red fluorescence under a Wood's lamp.

Hailey-Hailey disease

This genetic blistering disease is characterized by painful erosions, vesicles, and fissures, a more severe presentation than simple intertrigo.

Psoriasis

Inverse psoriasis is distinguished by its sharply demarcated, smooth, bright red plaques, which are more indurated than simple intertrigo.

SDRIFE

This is an acute, symmetrical drug eruption, not a chronic inflammatory condition caused by moisture and friction.

Tinea

Tinea cruris (a fungal infection) is distinguished by its active, raised, scaly border that advances outwards, which can be confirmed by a KOH test.
