Hi
generally the itching is due to allergy or if the place is moist
it is also call Jock itch(tinear cruris)
tinea cruris, is a common skin infection that is caused by a type of fungus called tinea. The fungus thrives in warm, moist areas of the body and as a result, infection can affect the genitals, inner thighs, and buttocks. Infections occur more frequently in the summer or in warm, wet climates
please take the medication as prescribed, it should give the relief also keep the place clean and moist free
Wish You Good Health
Regards
