This is very frequently seen with diabetes. Your Ob-Gyn will need to treat this with antifungal cream, usually Lotrisone twice daily and recommend not to shave, reduce weight, keep area dry by using Corn Starch Baby Powder every 3 hours, and keep diabetes under control by avoiding sweets and starches.
Very common to get a fungus in the areas that are warm and moist. Nystatin powder often does the trick.
Have you tried using calamine lotion or arnica cream?

You could have a condition called hidradenitis suppurative which is a type of acne that involves the folds. You should be evaluated by a dermatologist so that a definitive diagnosis can be made. In the meantime, use an antibacterial soap when bathing, an anti-yeast powder during the day, and try to lose weight.
First, stop shaving if you are. Make sure you use only cotton panties, but even the elastic band can also trap moisture, so many large women find men's boxer shorts more comfortable. Take showers, not baths because you

want to stay as dry as possible. Tinea curries, or fungal infection of the skin folds is likely. A good cream can be

ordered by your doctor. I like ketoconazole 2% twice a day for 2 weeks. Diabetes from obesity leads to the worst

fungal infections so have you doctor check for this, and follow his/her advice.
I agree with Dr Geisse,as this sounds like candida intertrigo[a type of skin fold yeast infection]. Do your best to loose weight and treat three times daily with a cream or powder containing miconazole. If you do not rapidly improve, see your Dermatologist

Hi,

Consider using medi honey Derma or barrière bream. I've seen it be very successful in what you are describing.

Good luck,

The skin is an elimination organ. As such it is trying to eliminate toxns that the body is unable to get rid of otherwise.

in order to eliminate the problem we need to detoxify the body of things like yeast and other toxins. Everything you have tried so far is treating the symptoms. Once we eliminate the cause, the problem will go away.
