Hi,
It may be inframammary intertrigo. The cause may be candidal infection along with mild bacterial infection. Perspiration may exacerbate the disease. I would recommend you to take a course of antibiotic and antifungal tablets for two weeks with antihistaminics. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Keep the area dry and do not apply soap while bathing. You may use dettol liquid.
Hope this helps.
