Hello,
This can be due to yeast skin infection. The other possibility would be intertrigo. Most cases respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

This used to happen to me a lot.  The only deodorants I can use are the roll ons or gels.  Something in solid deodorants cause my skin to peel and itch under my arms  To help with the rash try A&D ointment and/or hydrocortisone cream.
