The maceration is due to constant presence of sweat, synthetic or tight clothes and friction. Keep the area dry, by leaving it exposed and dry with a hand fan or hair dryer. Wear loose cotton clothes. You will need a prescription antiinflammatory cream from a dermatologist.
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist to rule out coexisting infection.
