Brief Answer:
Intertrigo

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thanks for uploading the photo.

Based on the image you uploaded, it appears to be Intertrigo. Intertrigo is skin irritation at the region of the skin folds due to constant friction between the skin folds. For treatment , steroid creams like beclomethasone or Hydrocortisone twice a day can be applied locally for at least 2 weeks in consult with your doctor. Local petroleum jelly application can also reduce rubbing of skin folds. Try to keep the area dry and don't wash it excessively. Prefer to wear loose cotton pants or trousers and avoid wearing tight clothing (espescially trousers/ underwear).

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
