Intertrigo: For prevention and stopping furthering of symptoms

Shower and dry off thoroughly each day. Keep your skin as dry and cool
as you can. Avoid wearing tight shoes or clothing. Wear a bra with
good support. If the areas between the toes are affected, consider
wearing open-toed shoes. For infants with diaper rash, change diapers
more frequently. If you are overweight, do what you can to lose
weight.

Take steps to eliminate friction, heat, and maceration by keeping
folds cool and dry. These steps can be accomplished by using air
conditioning and absorbent powders, wearing moisture-wicking polyester
underwear and socks (eg, Orlon) and by exposing skin folds to the air.
Compresses with Burow solution 1:40, dilute vinegar, or wet tea bags
often are effective, especially if followed by fanning or cool
blow-drying.

The above is treatmebt for Intertrigo. A doctor's visit is recomended however due to some cases needing steroids or other topicals and the risk for infection.
