Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your description it seems like fungal infection like “tinea cruris” also known as jock itch. You can try topical anti fungal ointments like Clotrimazole after cleaning the area with soap and water. You have to take oral antifungal drugs like Fluconazole once a week for four to six weeks. Keep the affected area dry and avoid tight fitting inner wears. Antihistamines like phemramine can be taken for itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
