HELP!! I need advise on an embarrassing rash

I am 11 days post-op rny. I am having a terrible time with a rash that I feel certain is the result of my excess weight/skin. It was giving me some trouble before the surgery and has flared up again even though I am not very active, wearing light loose clothes,etc. After surgery you get antibiotics and I am wondering if it could be yeast and don't know how to get rid of it. I have a good amount of reduntant skin on my stomach and it is under there as well as pretty much the whole triangle "bikini" area, especially at the creases in my legs. It is splotchy, itchy, red. My first instinct was to keep as dry as possible and was using some powder to no avail, and as I said, I have been walking a little each day but it is not hot and I am not breaking a sweat. I hate to ask the doctor, but of course I will if I have to, just wodering if any of you have any advise or idea what it could be and if there is a cream or soap or drug even that may help. Thanks.
