Brief Answer:
Either intertrigo or ringworm infection, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
According to your complaints it seems to be either intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds or ringworm infection which is superficial fungal infection of the skin.
Both are common in hot humid weather.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Doctor,
I hereby upload pictures of affected areas - hand, wrist and also back portion . Here temparature is almost 35degree celsius. Since morning 7pm to evening/night; intolerable heat and sunshine. I have to change my vest almost thrice daily because of continuous sweating on back, chest and arms.

I am taking only cold water bath. Moreover our house cross ventilation is lacking. Earlier i was residing in Bengaluru where there was no this much problem. This place is about 400 km away from Bengaluru and this place near sea just 10 kms away.

Brief Answer:
Topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be allergic in nature.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and irritation for 2 weeks.
This should resolve your problem.
