Based on the information given, it appears to be tinea infection of the groin and gluteal region. It needs antifungal treatment with oral drug like fluconazole 150 mg, to be taken once a week for 8 to 9 weeks. Plus local application with antifungal + a steroid skin cream. Itching can be relieved with a tablet of levocetirizine 5 mg once a day for a few days.
