Rash? (Pic included)

Hi all

I was hoping someone could help identify this rash. I've been backwards and forwards to my GP recently so I don't want to bother her again if I can get something myself. It's slightly itchy but burns more than itches and antifungal cream and steroid cream don't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

Fungal rashes are most common where skin rubs on skin, groin, armpits, inner thighs, under boobs, skin creases if you are a larger person or C section scar if you have one. Where on your body is the rash?

Are you using pads or liners? They could be causing it especially if they are waterproof or perfumed. Swap to the most basic ones that are more skin friendly, try to have some time every day without anything next to your skin. Make sure your skin is dry after baths or showers.
