Hi,

Are you obese?? in obese patients may develop skin fold bacterial or fungal infection lead to rash and itching. Other possibilities like cystitis or urethritis may present like this.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Apply candid dusting powder locally, use tablet Cetirizine twice a day for five days.
Apply Moisturex cream or lotion.

If Symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
