By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

When I weighed 265 my skin was rarely dry, even when I was cold.
I now weigh 138, and haven’t had a rash under my stomach flap or breasts in over 10 years.
If she’s a sweet eater, or even a heavy eater of starches (potatoes, breads, cookies…), the solution will be more elusive.
I’d get input from her physician.
Medline Remedy Phytoplex Antifungal Powder with 2% Miconazole Nitrate
It worked great for my mom.
But since an OTC anti-fungal cream hasn't helped, I think you need to know what's causing the rash first to know how to treat it. Cellulitis has different treatments than eczema, different from pressure rashes, and different from yeast infections, etc. You could treat it inappropriately if you don't know what it is. It'd help to know for sure what you're dealing with.
Gold Bond powder will help keep her dry and may be all that’s needed.
Weight does make it worse but clothing that doesn’t breath will increase moisture. Hygiene is also important.
In the meantime, wash skin with mild soap. Make sure to rinse skin thoroughly and dry gently. Help her to get more air to circulate in the areas by placing washcloths or small towels between skin folds so those areas can air out. Creams that have a lot of oils in them will generally not help the problem - unless it is a diaper rash from being wet and exposed to urine OR a yeast infection. That's why I suggest a doctor appointment.
Any cream or lotion you put on should be with a light touch. The more you put on the more difficult it is to remove. I use to pat barrier cream on my Husband. I would mix an A and D type ointment with a zinc base ointment.
Hospice did order Nystatin for a rash he had.
Seeing a doctor to determine the cause of the rash might help.
If it is a yeast something like Monistat might help.
I had a mole removed several years back, they zapped it in a couple of seconds and off to the lab it went.
My old dermatologist cracked me up. He is near retirement age now and I am going to see his associate for my upcoming appointment.
Anyway, for my appointment he came into the examining room singing, “If I only had a brain.” from the Wizard of oz soundtrack. So funny! 🤣 I loved his quirky sense of humor.
The areas must be dried with a cool blow dryer first. Moisture is the enemy. But an accurate diagnosis is essential so if she can see a dermatologist, this is where to start. Don't assume you know what it is. Mine was incredibly itchy... beyond anything I've ever experienced.
Don't put on anything with an oily barrier. This holds it all in and encourages it.
Good luck.
Do update us please.
Monistat is over the counter in the feminine supplies.

Call moms PCP to see what recommendations s/he has.
Good luck.
Pharmacists are up to date on products that they sell.
Men's boxers or boxer briefs in cotton would keep her skin from chafing.
