hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Now as far as your present problem is concerned, you seem to be having Candidiasis of the groin region.
First some general precautions:
Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating
Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area
Now you do not need to apply any cream over the affected region.
Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply clotrimazole cream
also , you will need to take oral antifungals in the form of fluconazole 150 mg once weekly for 2 weeks.
In case of severe itching, take some antihistamine like levocetrizine once a day .
If inspite of the above measures, the lesions continue to persist or increase , then you might have to see a dermatologist for proper assessment and management
Hope it helps
