hi..
thanks for writing to us.
I understand your concern.
itching in groin area is most likely due to Jock Itch which is caused by fungal infection. this fungus grows and spreads in groin which is warm and moist.
I would suggest a combination of an antifungal like clotrimazole with a steroid hydrocortisone cream for four weeks applied daily twice in the affected area.
Also keep the area dry and clean. wear cotton underwear and do not repeat them without washing.
hope my answer helped. feel free to write back.
