Rash???

im not sure if this is dry skin or a rash of some sort

Hi jasmine,

You’ve got ‘adult diaper rash’. There are many causes of this and plenty of online articles offering sensible advice on how to manage it:

And yes, this sort of rash can occur in adults without wearing diapers: local irritant (chemicals), excessive friction/rubbing/sweating; yeast infection; a manifestation of a pre-existing skin condition, etc.

It looks like dry skin do you have a better picture.
