My Dear
The description matches that of ring worm of the skin. it is a fungal infection which affects the moist areas of the body and the skin of one side rubs against that of the opposite side.
Pleas take following steps for complete recovery
1 Keep that part dry and immediately stop using the steroidal cream
2 use a pure antifungal instead like Miconazole preparation
3 In the initial phase of switch over you may or may not feel some increased degree of discomfort which is due to the fact that steroids are habit forming and its withdrawal might disturb you to some extent. Bot pl do not restart steroidal preparation as that is a trap of which you should be aware.
4 start oral antifungals like Griseofulvin or Ketoconazole until a few days after complete healing to ensure that the ring worm doesn't return.
I hope you don't have to suffer again and expect that you will do whatever is possible to pt\revent the ibnfection. Very best of everything to you
