Brief Answer:
Either intertrigo or ringworm infection, please upload the pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

As per your complaints, it seems to be either intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds or ringworm infection which is a fungal infection.

To have a clearer picture of the condition, I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can guide you accordingly. You can simply upload/attach them at the reports section of this web-page.

Awaiting....
Regards
Dr Asmeet
