Abstract
Chronic intertrigo of toe-web space is a recalcitrant problem which is often associated with multi-organism infections. For this, a number of topical therapies with preventative measures are used, but many of them are cumbersome and not very effective. Cryotherapy is a good option for treating the toe intertrigo, but its availability is a major concern. Here as an alternative to cryotherapy, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cautery and Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (a broad spectrum anti-infective agent) solution is advocated as a simple, feasible, and cost-effective treatment of chronic inter digital intertrigo.
