Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

greetings

I had gone through your question and I really appreciate your concern

Looking at your history this could be due to following conditions
Local allergy or contact dermatitis
Fungal or ectoparasite infection of groin region
Friction in between upper thighs if you are obese

Make an appointment with a dermatologist for examination and a group of antihistaminic drug for itching and a course of antifungal drugs, if it is a fungal infection

I would advise you to follow some guidelines to avoid such conditions:

Maintain good hygiene by keeping genital area clean and moist
Apply some moisturizing cream after a bath

Hope I have answered your question; please fell free to ask for follow up question I will gladly answer you

wishing you good health
Regards
Dr BR Hudda
