Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query and photograph,
It is looking like a fungal infection.
The area of groin and butt crack is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like clotrimazole, Terbinafine etc are availabe.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
You can use this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
