Hello,
Thanks for writing here.
It seems you are having fungal infection.It commonly occurs on moist areas of body like armpits ,groins etc.Use loose cotton clothes.Keep area dry.Use a good antifungal poweder like candid.At night you can apply antifungal cream like DK gel which contains miconazole.In case there is no response you need to take oral medications ,but it is better to take under the guidance of a dermatologist.Take care.
