Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.

Wash all your clothes, bedding, scrubs, in hot water and sun dry. Don't mix them with others. Have a bath daily.
