What Do Red Rashes Around The Groin Area Indicate?

So this has been an on going problem for 4-5 years now. I have been tested for HSV2 and it was negative. I have patches of red raised skin around my crotch region and also patches of red raised skin on my penis. Seems like apple cider vinegar helps the symptoms of itching and inflamation but ultimately doesnt solve the problem. I dont have any idea what it could be, have tried lots of home remidies and jock itch cream with no prevail. Any ideas?
