Hello Zachklovsk,

Thanks for your query.

It is very common to have a burning and itchy sensation in the groin without any visible lesion. It is due to the constant friction and sweating these areas have.

I suggest you to use a mild steroid-antifungal combination cream available Over the counter for a week, thrice a day after wiping the area dry. Keep the area dry with talcum powder. See your dermatologist for a proper prescription.

Hope I have answered your query.

Please feel free to ask any further questions if you have.

Thanks
