Brief Answer:
Intertrigo, topical steroid antibiotic combination cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid and antibiotic like neosporin ointment and cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-8 days.
Also keep the area dry and clean, wear loose fitted cotton clothes and stay in cool airy environment.
Avoid strenuous physical activity.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
