Thanks for using HCM
your history points towards superficial fungal infection of skin. Could be a tinea cruris, you can apply topical anti fungal cream like clotrimazole, apply cream twice a day for 2 weeks. try to keep area dry, to control itching you can use anti histamine tablets like cetrizine in night time. Wash your inner wears in hot water and sun dry it. Get well soon. Take care.
