Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



It seems that your husband might be having fungal infection in the groin. I would advise that he should apply locally an anti-fungal cream for relief from his symptoms. If the symptoms persists, get him clinically examined by a Dermatologist.



Keep the area dry and maintain local hygiene.

I hope this is helpful to you.
