Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of fungal infection/tinea cruris.
If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical OTC antifungal cream e.g Clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 4 weeks.
An oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine syp, can be given 1tsf at night, for symptomatic relief from itching.
