Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic

Crotch rash is mostly due to ringworm which is a fungal infection.
You can apply antifungal like Clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
