Hello,
It sounds like chaffing or rash due to friction rub. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness.

Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Calamine lotion and oral anti inflammatory drugs help a lot in its treatment. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
