Possible fungal.: Usually because that area is hidden and moist many fungus harbor there and can cause an infection. This is very common especially during the summer months due to the heat. you may try over the counter clotrimazole( an anti fungal cream) for example and see how you respond in a few days. If rash persists or gets worse you will need to see your doctor for a formal evaluation and treatment.

Rash: Yes, a rash can b treated anywhere, however, perhaps what you are not able to see the entire area, so have someone check to make sure the problem is only on the skin and not associated with a lump or cyst or growth. Rashes can be from irritation, infection both fungus and bacteria or underlying problems. First wear loose clothes, use cortisoine 1 if persists see doc.
