Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. If you get rashes on body folds like genital area with out getting in chest or limbs then it can be due to fungal infection. For fungal infection using anti fungal ointments or lotion will be helpful. Miconazole or terbinafine can be used for this. For hives taking anti histamines like benadryl or cetrizine will be helpful. Calamine lotion for local application can be used also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
