Hi again,

Your description suits the diagnosis of tinea cruris .It is fungal infection of skin.
As you have not uploaded photos it cannot be confirmed.

Treatment of tinea cruris is oral and topical antifungals like terbinafine tablets and cream.

Photos can be uploaded by using "Upload your reports" on right hand side of this box.

Anticipating your reports.
