Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems to be intertrigo which is inflammation of the body fold.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with application of an anti fungal dusting powder on the groins 2-3 times in a day.
Also keep the area dry and clean.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
