Hi,
Welcome to the HCM.
From the history what you are telling ,it seems it might be fungal rash ,which can be treated by fluconazol ointment.Since this rash has to be seen in person first to diagnose.So I would suggest get checked by a dermatologist or nearby physician first and treat accordingly.Else you may upload the picture on this site and discuss further.
