Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The rash in diabetic patients is commonly related to a fungal infection.

So,I suggest using Clotrimazole cream for local application.

I also suggest using Diflucan for three days.

I recommend to maintain a good hygiene and wear breathable clothes.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
