Warning Pictures. I get this rash every so often. It seems to happen after running/jogging, wearing non breathable leggings for two days in a row or if I don't dry off after sex with my boyfriend. It seems like any moisture triggers it. I've have applied cornstarch to keep it dry and reduce friction and it disappears after a day or two. I'm trying to schedule a doctors appt. I'm not applying anything except vaseline to reduce friction because it goes away by the time i get an appt. Then they say they don't know and its not considered urgent care under my insurance to get a quick appt. I get a similar rash under my boobs if i don't wear a bra and i sweat. I was prescribed yeast medicine for that. Does anyone have any idea?imageimageimage

    Looks like a yeast /fungal problem. try washing the area with a medicated shampoo that contains selenium sulphide.Then apply Canesten clotrimazole cream. Its the sweaty conditions that cause it. Try cotton leggings until it goes
