Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. seems you have a minor fungal infection between your thighs which might be developing due to sweat getting trapped.
Apply Antifungal dusting powder before going to sleep and after taking bath in the morning. It will keep the area dry and prevent fungal growth.
Apply econazole cream regularly for 2 weeks.
Wear loose fitting clothes and cotton undergarments
