Unfortunately it is impossible to diagnose a rash properly without seeing the patient. From the photo it looks like you have tinea cruris, a fungus, but again it is not possible to know for sure without looking at you in person. Consequently you must see your doctor for this. If it is Tinea there are some prescription creams that will help. Thanks for your question, and good luck!
It is possible that this rash is a fungal infection given your symptoms and and its location. However, I recommend that you see your primary care provider for further evaluation.
As stated, this could be / most likely a fungal infection lingering due to lack of treatment and also if the environment has not changed. Keep skin open to air when possible, dry, and apply over the counter anti-fungal cream daily for week to see if it improves. If not consider a skin biopsy by seeing a dermatologist. Thank you, Jeff
This is likely a fungal infection (aka jock itch, tinea cruris, etc.). You could try some anti-fungal creams available at your pharmacy. If no improvement, you should talk to your doctor.

Best of luck!
Very hard to make diagnosis from picture and you should see a medical provider. Possible fungal infection, if there is a lot of itching can speak with pharmacist and try over the counter medicine.

Yes the discharge from a yeast infection, if not adequately cleaned, could cause itching, rashes, escoriation of the perineal skin. Usually clears with full internal antifungal treatment, topical antifungal cream and frequent change of underwear during active discharge. Make sure your partner also uses antifungal cream to avoid recurrence

A contact dermatitis from cleansing wipes, a skin fold yeast rash, or tinea cruris are all possible. If using wipes , stop them. You might try topical miconazole cream while awaiting an appointment with your Dermatologist. Take the cream in with you if you use it, so the Doctor can know what was or wasn't effective.
