Hi,
Your symptoms suggest possible fungal infection (due to excessive sweating in the groin). Please start wearing loose cotton underwear. Have frequent washes, dry the skin and sprinkle Neosporin H dusting powder (over the counter) on it. Apply Neosporin H ointment at bed time. In case there is no relief in 10 days, consult a skin specialist for oral antifungal agent with suitable dosage for you.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
