Brief Answer:
Probably fungal infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This rash seems to be related to a fungal infection. I will suggest that you try an ant fungal cream like clotrimazole, miconazole, etc. Apply twice daily for 10days and report progress to me. if you cannot get these medications over the counter, please request a prescription from your doctor.

I wish you well and keep me updated.
