Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Your description suggests it to be fungal infection.
You can apply an antifungal oint like CLOTRIMAZOLE locally twice a day.
Keep the area dry and use cotton undergarments.
See the response in next 5 days.
If you improve then keep applying it for 10 days more after your rash disappears.
In case you don't find relief in next five days,then consult a doctor.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
