Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi! According to your history there are 2 possibilities: one is intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds and the other is fungal infection.The diagnosis of fungal infection can be made by doing skin scraping for fungus. In either of the condition you have to keep this area as dry as possible, be in cool airy environment, wear cotton underwear, avoid sharing of soaps and towel. The rest of the treatment depends on the final diagnosis made after examining you.
