Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash on both sides of ribs, back and legs which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from heat generation causing this.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry and apply cream containing azelaic acid. Apply calamine lotion to avoid itching. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and prescribe anti inflammatory ointments. Avoid use of any hard cosmetics on these areas.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
