Suggest Treatment For Rash On Inner Thigh & Perinial Area

I have what appears to be a heat rash on my inner thighs and perinial area for about a week now. Medicated powder is definitly not helping, nor does Hydrocortisone with aloe. I tried calamine lotion and it started to dry the area and the little bumps got smaller only I'm not sure if it's safe to apply calamine lotion to such areas as the perenial and the scrotum.
