Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

You seem to have a fungal infection of the groin folds. Heat, humidity and trapping of moisture between folds encourages fungal infection. I suggest you to use a topical antifungal e.g either 2% Ketoconazole cream or 1% Clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
