Itchy, Red Rash In Inner Thigh, Spread To Anal Region. Prescribed Clobestsol, Flared Up. Reason?

I have developed this rash in my inner thighs on both sides which became really itchy, red, and bumps and the itching and redness has spread to my anal region and is very discomforting. My gyno told prescribed Clobetsol saying I have a dry skin--at first it seemed like the symptoms were coming down--but then suddenly it flared up again and is getting worse by the day.
Any idea what this could be?
Thanks
