Brief Answer:
Intertrigo, topical steroid antifungal cream
Detailed Answer:
Sorry I didn't see the history.
According to your complaints, it is looking like intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds.
I would recommend you to apply a mild topical steroid and antifungal combination cream like Clotrimazole cream and beclomethasone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 10-12 days.
Also, avoid wearing a sports bra for few days and keep the area dry.
Take care,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
