I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have viewed the image.
You seem to have a fungal infection of the groins i.e tinea cruris.
I suggest you to apply a topical antifungal e.g candid -B cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. In addition i also suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g Tab. zimig 250mg once daily for 2 weeks. You may also take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
