Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.

Presently is it present, if so kindly upload the picture.
I cannot confirm anything without examination but rash due to friction rub with clothes, dermatitis, excessive sweating causing sweat dermatitis or balanitis.
You may try calamine lotion on the rash. You should also maintain hygiene and try to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove or dermadew.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination, for exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
