Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother.
The most common side effects of insulin include: Hypoglycemia (fall in blood glucose level), weight gain, allergic reaction, lipodystrophy, etc.
She seems to have developed fungal infection of the skin in her inner thighs. Clotrimazole or Terbinafine containing antifungal creams can be applied over the affected parts. Also kindly check her fasting blood glucose levels, as uncontrolled diabetes can be associated with such type of infections.
Hope this will help her.
