Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Based on the symptoms you have mentioned, I am suspecting fungal infection which is common in those areas due to increased moisture. I suggest you get a fungal culture done of skin scrapings taken from that area. Try to keep that area clean and dry as much as possible. Get a dermatologist opinion for antifungal treatment. Thanks.
