General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there,
He may just be having a form of skin infection that is due to moist conditions created in areas like the buttcrack, groin armpits etc. He can take a tab cetrizine once a day for 3 days and also keep the affected area dry. Wear dry underwear and dust the area around the rash with clotrimazole powder twice a day. It will resolve in 3-4 days or you can get back to me.

Hope this helps,
