Lotrimin cream is what I would try first.  If a full course of that doesn't help, then I'd suggest Psoriaflora cream.

The first cream is for yeast and the second is for psoriasis.

How sad that at your age, you cannot afford a doctor.  Are you in the US?  Perhaps you can get Medicaid.  
I would try an antifungal ointment first.  If you sweat, maybe dust the whole area with powder after the ointment.  Maybe the Gold Bond menthol one, or a powder that says antifungal.
Does this seem to be associated with the band at the bottom of your bra?
