Brief Answer:
Rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
This is a common place for a rash. If it is just redness, you can use zinc oxide to help calm the rash. If you are noticing scaly areas, this could be fungal in nature and require an anti fungal cream. You can try something over the counter or you can ask your doctor to prescribe.
