Answers:
Could be what they call "jock itch" -- a fungal skin rash. Read this: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/jock-it... You can buy creams over-the-counter at any drug store that should help. Lamisil AT is one brand that's common in the U.S. You should also try to keep the area as dry and sweat-free as possible (moisture and warmth are a fungi's favorite things). This is VERY common and nothing to be embarrassed about. It's the same fungus that causes athlete's foot -- nothing gross or scary.
If you use the cream as directed and the rash doesn't go away, see a doctor.

If you have a rather large tummy and the fat [sorry have to say it like this] overlapping it can also cause it. Make sure you wash and use baby powder to make sure it is absolutely dry. If you don't have a large tummy then get a cream or use some Vaseline everyday smear it on the area to stop the perspiration from burning the irritable line. Health Question & Answer
