Fungal infections are common in areas where we sweat a lot or areas which remain occluded. Keep the area dry wear loose clothing, try to avoid scratching, dont use a towel for more than 2 days. It need proper treatment with oral and topical antifungals depending on extent of involvement. Dont go for over the counter medicines as they may lead to side effects. Consult a qualified dermatologist.
