hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis.
You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry .
Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region .
Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating.
You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day.
Also you might need to take oral antifungals like fluconazole .
And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .

Hope it helps,
