Raw skin under fold: Likely infection,yeast .Could try OTC vaginal yeast treatments, Monistat and see if helps. Wash 2 x a day with soap and water ,dry. Consider tinactin (tolnaftate) (antifungal) powder . May become suprainfected with bacteria so monitor healing-and may need bacitracin as well. .Also check thyroid function and glucose. yeast infections are sometimes the first sign of diabetes.
