Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Rash you have mentioned is suggestive of infection may be bacterial or fungal. Fungal is more common this area and they itch a lot. I advise you to use triple ointment like Lobate GM or Terbiforce plus for local application.
Antihistamine like Levo-cetrizine can be taken to reduce the itch.
Oral antifungal like fluconazole can be taken weekly.
Maintain proper hygiene of the area.


Let me know if you have any further questions.

Wish you a good health.
