Seems to be yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi RengithR,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Your symptoms suggest yeast infection in skin folds ,nails.... characterised by itching in the area... giving rise to red coloured rash /inflammation in later stage.
Proper physical examination by a dermatologist &skin scrapping test (if needful) would confirm the cause .
As you show symptoms in wide spread part of body...you would need antifungal medicines by a dermatologist (for full prescribed time) along with local ointments & personal care as follows -
-Keep your skin clean &dry.
- Avoid frequent contact with water(moist skin favours infection),avoid sweating.
-Avoid contact with infected person or pet,
- Inform your doctor if you are under long use of antibiotics /steroids.
- Try to control over weight,
-The diabetes/HIV infection must be excluded or kept under good control.
Thus a clear diagnosis,expert advised medication &good &persistent self care would give you relief from the problem.
I hope that helps you. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
