Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the photographs.
It is looking like fungal infection.
The area of groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
I usually prescribe clotrimazole powder to be applied twice daily and have seen good response with that.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
You can try it in consultation of your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
