Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it is looking like either intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds or inflammed Tinea which is a fungal infection.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a cream containing steroid and antifungal like sertaconazole and beclomethasone combination on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks ago and take antihistaminic like tablet hydroxyzine 10 mg once in morning and tablet hydroxyzine 25 mg once at night for 2 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Your scrotum is moist because of scratching and abrasions you are having over the scrotal skin.
Apart from the above mentioned medicines you can also go for potassium permanganate compresses over the affected area twice daily.
