Brief Answer:
intertrigo with secondary infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The fact that the lesions occur between the thighs, under the breasts and in the armpits suggest that it might be related to intertrigo.

Intertrigo is inflammation in the folds of the body (the thighs, armpits and under the breast in women) . The skin becomes inflamed as a result of friction which is then worsened by moisture and heat.
This dermatitis can then be secondarily infected by bacterial or fungal infections which seems to be the case for you.

The treatment involves taking steps first the eliminate the heat, friction and moisture.
(1) the use of air conditioning, absorbent powders, exposure of the skin folds when possible
(2)avoid tight and occlusive clothing
(3)separate the skin folds with cotton or linen cloths
(4)protective barrier creams might reduce further problems and allow healing to occur, this would include creams such as desitin, zinc oxide, triple paste
(5) since there is secondary infection , you also need to consider the application of a topical antibiotic (neosporin, fucidin, erythromycin, bactroban) and anti fungal agent (miconazole , clotrimazole)
(6)short use of a topical steroid to reduce the inflammatory response- for 4 to 5 days.

If treatment does not resolve with topical treatment then oral medication may be needed.

I hope this helps,feel free to ask any additional questions
