Red bumps

I noticed last night I have an area of red bumps in the area where my underwear would lay, right above the crease of my thighs and vagina.

I also have the same kind of bumps on the top of my butt crack. Red, itchy, and burnings could this be a reaction to my new soap, or something serious? How can I treat it?

No, not serious and is generally easily treated. Try an anti-fungal medication. This is called teniea cruris or perhaps candidal intetrigo... Otherwise known as jock-itch in more common parlance.

Best of luck!

PS. Make sure your diabetes is under good control if you've got it.
