Hi,
I think you may be having tinea cruris from long time. Never take oral steroid and never apply steroid cream as that can worsen your condition. Take a long course of cap Itraconazole 100 mg daily and and apply only Terbinafine cream daily. Avoid soap bath and keep the area dry.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
