Hello and welcome to the HealthcareMagic!
You have used Clotrimazole containing anti-fungal drug for jock-itch which is the correct drug for fungal infection.
Moreover Ketoconazole containing soap can also be used.
Oral Fluconazole course also can be prescribed.
Topical Imidazole cream also can be beneficial.
If you post the photo then I can evaluate further.
Consult dermatologist for examination.
