Brief Answer:
Clotrimazole or miconazole containing powder

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I would recommend you to use a clotrimazole or miconazole containing powder like zeasorb powder in the groin region twice daily.
This will reduce the moisture as well as friction while you are exercising.
