What is infragluteal fold?

The infragluteal fold is the crease or fold that separates the buttocks from the upper thigh. It is also commonly referred to as the gluteal crease or the gluteal fold. The infragluteal fold forms as a result of the natural curvature of the body and provides an important anatomical landmark for medical professionals during physical examinations or surgical procedures. It is also an area that is prone to skin irritation, fungal infections, and cellulitis, particularly in people who are overweight or have poor hygiene habits. Regular cleaning and maintenance of this area is important for overall hygiene and prevention of infection.
