HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Fungal infections occur in these areas due to heat, moisture and friction. These infections are would also be associated with itching.

Treatment would involve: (1) keeping the areas separated if possible
(2)wearing cool, loose clothes
(3)use of antifungal creams eg econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole
(4)steroid creams such as hydrocortisone
(5)barrier creams that keep the surface separate eg zinc based cream such as desitin

I hope this helps
