Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

This rash seems to be intertrigo. It is inflammation of the body folds due to constant friction and moisture at these sites. I would recommend you to keep the area dry and clean, wear cotton underwear and use talcum powder on the affected area.

Also apply Cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for a few days. This will help in resolving the rash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
