I'm going to assume not - though I would hope your doctor did nail it when he said probably heat rash.  I'd use cotton underwear - changing them frequently and when home simply walk around nude, allowing as much air as possible to the area.  Make sure to dry the area gently, use a cornstarch powder to absorb moisture and see if it resolves.  Check back with your doctor if it still persists are 4-5 days.
