Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
I will keep a possibility of a fungal infection/tinea cruris; fungal infections being fairly common in the groin region. Classically tinea presents as itchy, patches composed of bumps. The patches may be annular or round and extend peripherally. There may be some scaling/chaffing as well. The diagnosis is mostly clinical however, a KOH examination for fungal elements is confirmatory for doubtful cases. I suggest you to try an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching. If the condition does'nt improve as expected I suggest you to review with a dermatologist.
Regards
