Yes photos or good descriptions of the lesions would help. It is the next part of the diagnosis form and gives suggestions and descriptions of lesions.

One of mine gets this in the summer when he sweats a lot. The sweat runs down (along with any fly spray, etc., that has been applied) and seems to collect here where it causes irritation similar to what you have described. I have had good results from washing the area with Betadine (Povidone) scrub, rinsing throughly and drying with a towel.
