Oh God, skin issues in body folds can be so painful and frustrating to deal with. I always worry if they will spread or get infected with sweat. Please wear very loose cotton clothes and see a dermatologist before using any strong creams.
I panicked so much when I first got those red patches in my underarms, thinking it was a major fungal infection. But the skin specialist diagnosed it as inverse psoriasis and gave a mild steroid cream that cleared it up. It is very manageable, so don't stress.
I hope you get relief from the discomfort soon. Just try to keep the skin folds dry and clean, and consult a skin specialist for safety.
Managing skin issues when you have diabetes is tricky because high sugars can lead to fungal infections in the same body folds. Keep your blood sugar in strict control with a low-carb diet, and make sure to get the patches checked by a doctor.
I completely understand how uncomfortable and irritating it is to have red rashes in sensitive areas like underarms or groin. It can make you feel so self-conscious. Please take a deep breath, it is a common condition and a good doctor can help you treat it easily.
We always go to a reputed hospital for any chronic skin issues instead of self-medicating. Please ask your dermatologist clearly about the side effects of prescribed topical creams, as skin in folds is very thin. Don't use OTC steroid ointments blindly.

For inverse psoriasis, keeping friction and sweat to a minimum is very helpful. You can use simple zinc oxide cream or loose powders after consulting your doctor. Avoid harsh soaps on those areas as they strip away natural moisture and cause more irritation.
