You have what the oldtimers call the Gauld! This is where you rub skin to skin.
1 Do not use vasoline
2 do not use hydrocortizone
Get some good ole corn starch like a gold bond as mentioned earlier, take a shower or a bath and then powder up good and wear loose like basketball shorts for a while. Powder several times to keep you from rubbing anymore! I would suggest to change the type underwear you wear or select bigger ones.
P.S. In no way is 6-2 245 way over weight.

That sounds like chafing. There are lots of products out there that will help with that. Various powders and whatnot. Anything that would reduce the friction on the skin. As for preventing it from happening, watch what clothing you wear, some materials are worse than others. Losing some weight might help with it as well, it'd be difficult to tell.

Stops the friction that causes the rash. In the meantime, don't let the skin rub, and apply a cream or ointment with hydrocortisone in it. Icing the area helps, too.

Use talcum powder to prevent it. You may need to see a dermatolist to treat the rash. Do your pants fit properly?

It is because you are overweight so it's a good thing you are aware of it. In the meantime, powder yourself in that area several times a day....it will help
