Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum. I can understand your concern for the rash over the affected area.
I have gone through the pictures with diligence and thoroughly analysing the pictures I can make out that you have fungal infection of the area.
It is basically caused by improper hygiene and sweating.
In such a condition I suggest my patients to apply an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or sertaconazole or ketoconazole over the affected area.
Take daily bath and wear cotton clothes.
I hope this helps.
With regards,
