Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to intertrigo which is an infection in the skin between the buttocks. I suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
