What you have is almost the same as baby's diaper rash due to sensitive skin with moisture. You can first treat the rash with hydrocortisone cream 1% and lotrimin cream 1%, two hours apart, twice a day. After the rash resolves, you should use talcum or starch powder (okay to use in adults) or zinc oxide ointment on that area to protect the skin before sleep.
