Lee...these are the areas most affected by fungal rashes. Have you heard of Jock itch? For a start you must keep the area as clean and dry as possible. Those fungal spores love a warm sweaty environment. Only wear 100% cotton pants and wear none at night to ensure some flow of air. No lycra or tight fitting pants or vests.
Make sure your underwear is washed frequently and at a temperature of 60 deg minimum. You have to kill the spores in the fabric.
Look in the chemist/pharmacy for a cream for "Jock itch". It should contain Clotrimazole. Use this at night after thoroughly washing and drying the areas. You will need to wash the drying towel at 60deg as well. Or use tissues to dry and then throw away.
Use this on genital area and underarms. Use all the cream in the tube. You may need to buy 2 tubes....
Hopefully this will help but if it returns you may need to see a doctor for something more effective. This is a very common problem.
