Also, I carry small microfiber cleaning cloths for the express purpose of washing my bum whenever it needs it. Look for the 3M Scotch-Brite screen cleaning cloths, about 6" x 7", then look for generic versions on Amazon for a fraction of the price. I keep separate colors for hygienic duty and lens/screen cleaning, so they don't get mixed up.
Use a little Dr. Bronner's and water. The small size and microfiber fabric means they dry out really quickly.

Thinking air flow to keep things dry, so I’d go with newer running designs that maximize getting, … hmmm, air down there, …but also topical treatments. Body glide for starters. Make sure everything stays clean and dry as possible, so Dr B’s, maybe with some hand sanitizer. Trail runners on ultras distances have experimented using antiperspirant down there. Whatever works but with a caveat (see below)
Interestingly there’s increasing risk factors in a similar situation known as “jock itch”, which are being overweight (more folds to the skin), not cleaning/drying enough, etc.. One risk factor is using an anti-itch cream that can actually spread a skin fungus, when an anti-fungal OTC would’ve been appropriate.

As a road cyclist, this problem is a significant. I tend to soak my bike short pads in Chamois butt overnight before a big ride, and then apply a liberal coating to the nether regions before starting. But on hot, sweaty days...oof.
