Hello,
You are probably suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of thighs. Excessive sweating, wearing tight clothing,jeans are some of factors which can cause relapse. Apart from this treatment of fungal infection is prolonged and you need to continue oral and topical anti-fungals for long term under supervision of a dermatologist. I will advise to be in regular follow up with your doctor and continue treatment. You can use antifungal powder along with cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. R.G. Joshi, Dermatologist
