Hi.
As per your case history you are having intertrigo groin.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral fluconazole taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
