It's 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.

Hi. Greetings. Winter can be troublesome for many people with dry skin and preventing eczema in them can some times be a challenge especially due to dry weather. This further becomes a problem in elderly individuals since their natural oil production by the skin is very less. Hence must use a mild moisturizing soap and thick moisturizers preferably free of fragrances and allergens. ( sorry, better to avoid sharing brands on an open platform ) . Even using coconut oil daily is a good option.
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT Centre, Bengaluru
