Hello,

Thanks for writing here.

To be very simple rash in groin suggests a fungal infection.Your lowered immunity due to cancer also can be a cause for fungal infection.Just apply miconazole gel for 2 weeks.Keep area dry and clean.In case there is no improvement oral antifungals like terbinafine will be needed.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
