Hi i think it is seborrhic dermatitis due to excessive sweating.it is most common infection in infants.see for other areas like nape of neck.scalp or other hairy areas.it should be differentiated with napkin dermatitis or candidiasis .it can be treated with momate ointment in the morning and keto b ointment in the night
