Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly. Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own.

It's not possible to diagnose and treat with that much information. please send in pictures of the affected area, till then use eberconazole or amorolfine cream for local application twice daily. please refrain from using flutivate without a proper consultation. Hope that helps.
