Suggest Treatment For Intertrigo On Scrotum

Hi, I have had what the derm believes to be intertrigo on my scrotum off and on in the past. This time around I have had it or something for about two months and was treating with shea butter for comfort, but it hasn t gone away, i plan to go get some nystatin and give that a try. Anyway, my main question is i started with about 3 pimples on my inner thighs, only they are not pimples, they are very sore, very swollen ,and some puss comes out but doesn t really relieve them. Now I have 1 on my for arm and about 4 more on thighs and knee. Could these two issues be related? Oh, and now my wife has about three of these pimple like things.
