Suggest Treatment For Rash In The Crotch Of A 45-year-old White Male?

Hi, I m a 45 year old white male 190 lbs and have had rash in my crotch area for more than 2 months. The rash is very itchy, red and sort of forms a ring. I don t remember getting bitten by anything. Also, I do not think it is contagious since my partner is not infected. I recently got a hot tub and thought I was having a reaction to heat or chlorine however, I have stayed out of the tub for over a week at a time and it doesn t seem to matter. Again, my partner is not having trouble from the hot tub.
