Hi,
It seems to be intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds. Apply topical steroid and anti-fungal cream like Clotrimazole cream and cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 10 days. This should resolve your problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
