Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. Does the area look wet, macerated? or is it dry, scaly? There are few possibilities like candidiasis, contact dermatitis, abrasions (traumatic) etc. Probably, its not possible to determine the cause by this description alone. Kindly consult a dermatologist. Meanwhile, apply a bland moisturizer like vaseline. Thanks
