Hi,
The involvement of groin and scrotal area could be due to psoriasis( known as inverse psoriasis), some eczema or a fungal infection. The treatment varies with the diagnosis. Psoriasis and eczema would require application of steroid while fungal infection would require antifungal.ngal cream. I would advise you to visit your consulting dermatologist so that the area could be examined for prescribing appropriate treatment.
