"Intertrigo is one of the most under-treated conditions I see in practice. Most patients cycle between antifungal powders that cake and barrier creams that trap moisture. This formula does something genuinely different. The zinc oxide creates a breathable protective layer while the undecylenic acid targets Candida at a clinical 10% concentration. The dry-down complex with silica and tapioca starch absorbs excess moisture without drying out surrounding healthy skin. I've started recommending it to patients with recurring skin fold irritation under the breasts, in the groin, and beneath abdominal folds. The results are consistent: redness and itching resolve within 48 hours, and the rash stops cycling back when used preventively."
Dries Without Sealing Moisture In
Silica and tapioca starch absorb excess moisture while zinc oxide forms a breathable barrier. Standard barrier creams trap sweat and make the fold environment worse.
Antifungal + Barrier in One Step
10% undecylenic acid fights Candida while zinc oxide protects the skin. No need to layer a separate antifungal powder under a separate barrier cream.
Zero Fragrance, Zero Sting
No synthetic fragrance, no alcohol, no menthol. Applies to raw, irritated skin without burning. Most intertrigo treatments contain ingredients that sting on broken skin.
Relief in 48 Hours, Not Weeks
Witch hazel and tea tree oil calm burning and itching on first application. Visible redness reduction within two days. Prescription antifungals often take 7 to 14 days.
Product Description
NOVALys Intertrigo Relief Cream is a dermatologist-formulated treatment designed to dry, protect, and heal skin fold rashes caused by friction, moisture, and fungal overgrowth. Apply directly to affected areas under the breasts, in the groin, beneath abdominal folds, or between thighs.
Most people cycle between antifungal powders that cake and crack, barrier creams that trap moisture against the skin, and prescription treatments that take weeks to show results. None of these address the full intertrigo cycle: friction, moisture buildup, fungal colonization, and recurring flare-ups.
Our formula combines 10% undecylenic acid, 15% zinc oxide, witch hazel distillate, and microencapsulated tea tree oil with a proprietary Dry-Down Complex to fight fungus, absorb moisture, and protect the skin in one single application.
Safe for all skin types including sensitive and darker skin tones. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, non-stinging formula. Absorbs cleanly with no white residue and no greasy film. Wear under clothing all day without transfer.
How to Use
Step 1: Wash the affected area with lukewarm water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser. Pat the skin completely dry with a clean towel. Never rub. Moisture left behind feeds fungal growth.
Step 2: Squeeze a thin line of cream along your fingertip. You need less than you think. A pea-sized amount covers a 3-inch fold.
Step 3: Apply the cream directly into the skin fold, spreading gently along the entire length of the crease. Make sure the cream reaches both sides of the fold where skin touches skin.
Step 4: Let the cream absorb for 60 to 90 seconds before getting dressed. The Dry-Down Complex activates on contact and you will feel the area become noticeably drier. This is the silica and tapioca starch working.
Step 5: Get dressed normally. The formula stays in place and will not transfer to clothing. No powder residue, no greasy stains.
Routine: Apply twice daily (morning and evening) during active flare-ups. Once the rash clears, apply once daily as prevention. For chronic intertrigo, continue daily preventive application in hot weather or after exercise. Most users feel relief within 24 hours and see visible clearing within 48 hours.
How It Actually Works
Intertrigo is not just a rash. It is a self-reinforcing cycle driven by three factors that feed each other: friction damages the skin barrier, trapped moisture softens and macerates the tissue, and Candida or bacteria colonize the warm, damp environment. Treating only one factor is why the rash keeps coming back.
NOVALys breaks the entire cycle in one application by targeting all three root causes simultaneously.
Undecylenic acid eliminates the fungus. At a clinical 10% concentration, undecylenic acid disrupts the cell membrane of Candida albicans and common dermatophytes. Unlike clotrimazole, undecylenic acid is a fatty acid naturally derived from castor oil, which means it penetrates skin fold tissue more effectively and causes less irritation on already damaged skin (Wojciechowski et al., 2014).
Zinc oxide protects the barrier. At 15% concentration, zinc oxide creates a breathable physical shield between the two skin surfaces. This eliminates friction at the source. Unlike petroleum-based barriers, zinc oxide allows water vapor to escape while preventing skin-on-skin contact, so the fold stays dry instead of trapping sweat beneath a sealed layer.
The Dry-Down Complex absorbs moisture in real time. Silica microspheres and tapioca starch form a micro-powder matrix on the skin surface that actively absorbs sweat as it forms. This keeps the fold environment hostile to fungal growth throughout the day. Traditional powders clump and cake when wet. The Dry-Down Complex continues absorbing because the silica particles do not saturate at normal sweat volumes.
Witch hazel and tea tree oil handle inflammation and bacterial co-infection. Witch hazel is a natural astringent that tightens inflamed tissue and reduces weeping. Microencapsulated tea tree oil releases antimicrobial compounds slowly over 8 to 10 hours, providing all-day protection against secondary bacterial infection without the harsh sting of raw essential oil on broken skin.
Ingredients & Safety
Undecylenic Acid (10%) - Core antifungal active. Disrupts Candida and dermatophyte cell membranes on contact. Derived from castor oil for better tissue penetration and lower irritation than synthetic antifungals.
Zinc Oxide (15%) - Physical barrier agent. Creates a breathable protective layer between skin surfaces to eliminate friction. Allows moisture vapor to escape while blocking skin-on-skin contact.
Witch Hazel Distillate - Natural astringent that tightens inflamed, weeping tissue. Reduces redness and swelling without alcohol-induced dryness. Calms the burning sensation associated with active intertrigo.
Tea Tree Oil (Microencapsulated) - Slow-release antimicrobial that provides 8 to 10 hours of protection against bacteria and fungus. Microencapsulation eliminates the stinging and irritation of raw tea tree oil on broken skin.
Silica + Tapioca Starch (Dry-Down Complex) - Moisture-absorbing matrix that keeps skin folds dry throughout the day. Silica microspheres absorb sweat continuously without clumping or caking like traditional powders.
Allantoin - Skin-repair accelerator that promotes cell regeneration in cracked, macerated tissue. Softens rough, damaged patches and supports the skin barrier as it heals.
Safety: Dermatologist-tested. Hypoallergenic. Free from fragrance, alcohol, parabens, and sulfates. Safe for sensitive skin, darker skin tones, and post-shaved areas. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and open wounds. If irritation persists beyond 72 hours, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Real results from women who stopped suffering in silence with under-breast rash.
"I have had a rash under my breasts for over four years. Every summer it turns angry red, weepy, and the smell made me so self-conscious. My doctor prescribed clotrimazole twice and it would clear up temporarily then come right back within a week. This cream dried the fold within the first application. No stinging, no burning on the raw skin. Three days later the redness was gone completely. Two months of daily use and not a single flare-up."
"I tried every powder and cream on the shelf. Baby powder caked up within an hour and turned into a chalky paste. Cornstarch made it worse because the fungus feeds on it. Desitin blocked the sweat but trapped heat underneath. This cream is the first thing that actually absorbs, stays dry, and does not cake or clump. The rash under my chest cleared in four days and the skin feels normal for the first time in years. I stopped dreading hot weather."
"After losing 80 pounds I was so proud of myself but the loose skin created deep folds under my chest that stayed constantly irritated. The rash was raw and would crack in the creases. My dermatologist said it was common after major weight loss but the prescriptions only managed it temporarily. This cream healed the cracked skin in under a week. I apply it every morning and the folds stay dry and protected all day. I finally feel as good on the outside as I do on the inside."
"I do CrossFit four times a week and the sweat trapped under my sports bra was causing a rash that would not quit. Body Glide melted off twenty minutes into a workout. Gold Bond powder caked into the folds and made it worse. My coach recommended this cream and I applied it before my next session. Made it through an entire hour of box jumps and wall balls with zero burning. The rash cleared in five days and I now apply it before every class as prevention."
"The rash under my chest left dark patches that made me so self-conscious. Other creams either burned on contact or left white chalky residue that showed on my skin tone. This one goes on smooth with absolutely zero residue and no stinging at all. The rash cleared in less than a week and after two months of daily use the dark patches are finally fading. My daughter noticed and said my skin looks like it did years ago. No white cast is a huge deal for women with darker skin."
"I am a nurse working twelve-hour shifts in scrubs. The sweat and friction under my chest was creating a rash every single month. I would treat it with nystatin, it would clear, then come back the next week. This cream finally broke the cycle. I apply it before every shift and the area stays dry even through a full day on my feet. Three months with zero flare-ups. I recommend it to every patient I see with the same problem."
"Every summer the skin under my chest turns into a burning, itchy nightmare. The heat and humidity in Houston make it impossible to stay dry. I would go through three bra changes a day and still end up with an angry red rash by evening. This cream changed everything. One application in the morning and I stay dry and comfortable even in 95 degree heat. The rash cleared in three days and has not come back once this summer. I actually enjoy being outside again."
"Being diabetic makes me more prone to skin infections. My doctor said the rash under my chest is one of the most common complications with my condition. I was using three different prescription creams and still dealing with constant flare-ups. This one product replaced all three. It handles the fungus, protects the skin, and keeps things dry in one step. My endocrinologist was impressed at my last checkup and asked me for the name."
"Being completely honest. The itching relief was immediate but the redness under my chest took about five days to fully clear for me. Not the overnight miracle some reviews describe. But once it cleared it has stayed clear, which is the part that matters. Other treatments worked faster initially but the rash always came back within a week. Six weeks in and this is the longest I have been rash-free in years. I wish the tube was slightly bigger for the price but the three-pack is much more reasonable."

Evaluated the fungicidal efficacy of undecylenic acid against Candida albicans at concentrations between 5% and 15%. At 10% concentration, undecylenic acid disrupted fungal cell membrane integrity within 24 hours. As a castor oil-derived fatty acid, it demonstrated superior tissue penetration in macerated skin compared to synthetic azole antifungals, with significantly lower rates of contact irritation.
Systematic review of barrier agents used in intertriginous dermatitis. Zinc oxide at 15% concentration created a semi-permeable physical shield that reduced transepidermal water loss by 34% while maintaining vapor permeability. Unlike occlusive petroleum barriers, zinc oxide allowed moisture to escape the fold environment, directly addressing the moisture trapping that drives intertrigo recurrence.
Investigated the sustained-release profile of microencapsulated Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil in dermal applications. Encapsulation in lipid microspheres provided continuous antimicrobial release over 8 to 12 hours. The controlled release profile eliminated the contact dermatitis risk associated with raw tea tree oil while preserving full efficacy against both Candida species and Staphylococcus aureus.
Scientific References
Every other cream treats one cause and traps the others underneath. That's why the rash keeps coming back. Antifungal powders cake and crack. Barrier creams seal moisture in. Prescription steroids thin the skin with long-term use. NOVALys is built differently. It soothes the surface, dries the fold, kills the fungus, and breaks the cycle other creams reinforce. One product. All three causes. No recurring flare-ups.

Gentle Formula
The formula works on three root causes simultaneously. Zinc oxide creates a breathable physical barrier that stops skin-on-skin friction. Undecylenic acid at 10% concentration kills the Candida and dermatophyte fungi that colonize moist skin folds. The Dry-Down Complex with silica and tapioca starch absorbs excess sweat to keep the fold environment dry and hostile to fungal regrowth. By addressing friction, moisture, and infection together, the cream breaks the recurring cycle that single-action treatments cannot.
No. The formula is specifically designed for application on compromised skin. It contains zero alcohol, zero fragrance, and zero menthol. Witch hazel distillate actually soothes burning on contact rather than aggravating it. The tea tree oil is microencapsulated to eliminate the sting of raw essential oil. In dermatological testing on actively inflamed skin folds, 98% of participants reported no stinging or discomfort on first application.
The cream is safe for all skin fold areas including under the breasts, in the groin folds, between the thighs, beneath an abdominal fold or pannus, behind the ears, and in neck creases. It works on any area where skin-on-skin friction and moisture buildup create the conditions for intertrigo. Avoid applying to open wounds, broken skin with active bleeding, or mucous membranes. For external skin fold use only.
Most users feel relief from burning and itching within the first application. Visible redness reduction typically appears within 48 hours. Full clearing of the rash occurs in three to five days for most cases with twice-daily application. Severe or long-standing intertrigo that has been present for months may take seven to ten days for complete resolution. If you see no improvement after seven days, contact your dermatologist as the rash may have a non-fungal cause that requires different treatment.
Antifungal powders like clotrimazole powder kill fungus but cake and clump within an hour, especially in humid conditions. They do not address friction or form a lasting barrier. Barrier creams like Desitin or petroleum jelly block friction but seal moisture against the skin, creating the exact warm, damp environment that feeds Candida growth. Our formula does what neither approach can alone. It kills the fungus, absorbs the moisture, and shields against friction in a single application that stays effective all day without caking, clumping, or trapping sweat.
Yes. The formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-tested across all skin types including sensitive and melanin-rich skin. It leaves no white residue or chalky cast that shows on darker skin tones, a common complaint with zinc oxide products. The allantoin in the formula also helps reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the dark patches that intertrigo often leaves behind on darker skin after the rash clears.
No. Despite containing zinc oxide, the formula is engineered to absorb completely within 60 to 90 seconds. It dries to a powder-dry, invisible finish with no white cast, no greasy film, and no transfer to clothing or undergarments. You can get dressed normally right after application. The cream will not stain fabrics of any color.
Each tube provides approximately 90 applications with twice-daily use on a single affected area. That is a full three-month supply from one tube. If you are treating multiple skin fold areas simultaneously, the tube will last proportionally shorter. A pea-sized amount covers a three-inch fold, so a little goes a long way. The subscribe-and-save option delivers a fresh tube on your schedule at a reduced price.
The cream is designed to work as a standalone treatment for mild to moderate intertrigo. If you are currently using a prescription antifungal like nystatin or ketoconazole, consult your dermatologist before combining treatments. In most cases, our cream can replace single-action prescriptions entirely because it addresses the full intertrigo cycle rather than just the fungal component. Many users report successfully transitioning off prescription treatments after starting this cream.
Intertrigo is driven by environmental conditions: skin fold friction, trapped moisture, and body heat. Once the active rash clears, we recommend continuing once-daily preventive application, especially during hot weather, after exercise, or if you have risk factors like diabetes or obesity. Preventive use keeps the fold dry and protected so the conditions that cause intertrigo never re-establish. Most chronic intertrigo sufferers find that consistent daily prevention eliminates flare-ups entirely.
