Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You have developed fungal infection called as tinea cruris.
I treat such cases with capsule itraconazole and topical clotrimazole cream.
This gives excellent response within two weeks.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
