Hi. We need to see it to be able to diagnose what it is. You can send me a picture, I'll be happy to help you with a proper diagnosis and prescription. Please do not apply over the counter creams as they contain steroids, they would only make your problems worse. Best regards. Dr. Anil Jain Bangalore.

Measures that can be used to prevent the condition are: - Avoid using oily skin products - Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible. - Do not wear tight clothing. - Change undergarments regularly - Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating. - Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture. If the problem is persistent I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
