Hi
Thanks for writing to us at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and need to ask you few questions:
What is the duration of rash?
Is it associated with pain, burning or itching?
Is it present on one side of the body or both the sides?
Is this rash in the form of solid bumps or fluid filled blisters?
Kindly revert with the answers.

Brief Answer:
Doesn't look like herpes

Detailed Answer:
It is not looking like herpes.
It could be either dermatitis or candidiasis which is a yeast infection.
I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 7-10 days.
This should improve it.
