Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed a fungal infection.

It is common in the fold areas and areas where sweat more.

Apply an anti fungal powder like clotrimazole.

This will help in controlling sweat as well as infection.

Please meet a dermatologist if it persists.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
