Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM,

I understood your concern about the rash. A rash can occur due to a variety of reasons, and since you have not provided with any description of rash, I think it is a fungal rash because of the involved areas mentioned. Buttocks, and bikini line is predisposing area for tinea infection.

Apply topical antifungal like griseofulvin or sertaconazole to the lesion. Take oral anti allergic like cetrizine / loratadine.

Hope it helped
