Red rash under belly

[SummersBreeze]

I have a belly that looks like this.

Today I was going about my day and my belly was sore. There was a tightened sensation.

I looked in a mirror and under the belly under the skin fold, it's all red and raw.

I don't know if it's a heat rash or something to do with sweat there or a fungal infection. No found a nappy rash cream fro now.

Just wondering if I need to book a doctors appointment or will an over the counter fungal cream work?

Sounds like a mild fungal infection. I get thiscrom sanitary towels next to my legs and it clears up if you keep it clean with an unferfumed soap, well dried and then apply sudocreme.

Also if sudocreme doesn't work I'd ask in the pharmacy before trying the GP, I think you can get an over the counter anti fungal cream

It’s a sweat rash, called intertrigo. An OTC anti fungal cream should sort it.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm out and about now today. I know I ahve some cream at home so I will use that and I have more ordered online. Unfortunately I am nowhere near a pharmacy and I won't be able to get to one either.

It's so sore with every step I take.
