HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be intertrigo which is inflammation that occurs in the body folds such as under the breasts/ in the axilla/groin.
The inflammation occurs due to heat, moisture and friction between these surfaces.
Sometimes bacterial or fungal infection can occur along with this inflammation.
Use a zinc based cream or powder as barrier protection. keep as cool as possible.
Add a topical steroid cream to the antifungal powder.
Keep the surfaces as separate as possible
This should help.
