Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you are having intertrigo which is due to inflammation of the body folds.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a mild steroid antifungal combination cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime for 10-14 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Besides this keep the area dry, wear loose cotton clothes, stay in cool airy environment and avoid strenuous activities.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
