Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to a fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Going by the description it seems that you have a fungal infection which is causing the rash. You need to keep the area clean and dry. Use of candid (clotrimazole) powder or lotion should help in controlling the rash.

I would appreciate if you could upload an image of the affected area and help me to confirm.
