Hello,
It seems like you are having fungal infection in and around the genital area. It is called tinea cruris. I would suggest you to use ointment Clotrimazole thrice daily on the affected area after cleaning the area with lukewarm water and complete pat drying. The ointment is available over the counter. Please do this for a week continuously. You should be better by then.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
The symptoms look like atopic dermatitis, use a moisturizer and keep the area dry and clean. Apply Vaseline in the night. If it's still not improving then you will need a course of steroids to apply topically, which needs a prescription.
