Nick.
Probably not. Probably not. Hydrocortisone + clotrimazole.
Seriously, this sort of rash is probably chafing rather than fungus (and even fungus ("jock itch") is not catchy. I'd try a week of combining 1% hydrocortione and 1% clotrimazole (both non-Rx) once a day each. If you see no results, you can see a doc. If it goes away and comes back, just repeat the treatment as needed.
Best.
