Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
Rash in the groin area can be due to intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds due to continuous moisture in the area due to urine dribbling or due to ringworm which is fungal infection.
If you are not having improvement with cortisone cream I would recommend you to apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily for 12-14 days.
This should help in resolving your problems.
Besides this keep the area as much dry as possible.
