Could be due to multiple reasons, please send in details

Detailed Answer:
Hello My Dear

Thanks for writing in.
I am Dr V XXXXXXX a dermatologist.

I have seen the description and think that there could be various reasons for sucha rash and the best outcomes depend upon proper understanding of cause.

I will explain to you what you need to consider immediately as well as ask you to supply details as follows.

The rash of this kind may commonly be due to intertrigo (moisture and friction), a fungal infection, or an allergic response.

For immediate use, following should help anyone:
1 Keeping the part dry and ventilated

2 No soaps or harsh chemicals like dettol or savlon

3 Levocetrizine orally as 5 mg tab for itching

You are requested to furnish following details
1 Few pics
2 Duration and what time of day/night it worsens
3 Location of rash
4 Medication applied
5 intensity of itching
6 any activity that might have triggered it or increases the problem
7 diabetic status

I hope you will respond fast so that we can discuss it further.

Best wishes
