Avoid wearing tight fitting clothes and undergarments and make sure to use a medicated antifungal powder regularly. Do not share clothing.
Bathing with not very hot or cold water and keep the area dry. If it's very extensive and associated with itching then preferably consult a Dermatologist for the same.
