Red itchy rashes on skin caused by excessive sweating are mostly suggestive of fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150 mg once daily for at-least 5 days or use candid-b powder or betnovate-c cream for local application.
