Hi,
The rash could be an intertrigo or a tinea infection. The treatment differs for both the condition. Diagnosis could be made only after proper examination. I recommend you to visit your Dermatologist. Meanwhile, you could use Clotrimazole dusting powder for reducing the friction and to keep the area dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be Tinea infection if the rash is of itchy bumps in ring like pattern. If it is just a red flat rash in folds, it could be an intertrigo. You can apply Clotrimazole cream and Clotrimazole dusting powder for 2 weeks. In case of no response, you should consult your Dermatologist. Avoid wet clothing and tight fitting clothing. Do keep your skin folds dry and sweat free.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian
