Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and it seems to be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once daily at night for 2 weeks.
Wear cotton underwear, stay in cool airy environment and avoid tight clothes.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
