Hello,

Thanks for your query.

A red itchy rash is due to infection of the skin more likely to be a fungal infection.

I would suggest you to apply an ointment containing antifungal and steroid over the rash and it should subside. To prevent its recurrence you may need to take oral antifungal by getting it prescribed from a doctor.

As the area can become moist due to sweat you should try to keep it dry by using a regular talcum powder or an antifungal dusting powder if your doctor prescribes it.

Hope you find these answer helpful. In cases of any query please write back and I shall help you.

Please accept this answer and close the discussion if you have no further queries.

Take care.
