Hi this could be - candidal or erthrasmal intertrigo / or / tinea cruris and best treated after examination by a qualified dermatologist near you. You could use clotrimazole cream; but if its not improving, its better you visit a dermatologist. AVOID USING ANY CREAM THAT HAS A STEROID CONTENT IN IT - LIKE CLOBETASOL / HALOBETASOL / BECLOMETHASONE / MOMETASONE - THIS MAY PROVIDE INSTANT RELIEF BUT WORSEN THE INFECTION AND MAY CAUSE MORE ISSUES TO CURE IT COMPLETELY LATER ON.
Next Steps
See a qualified dermatologist near you
