Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
The diagnosis of Chlamydia and the treatment with Azicure was okay. You had not mentioned why you are taking Benzathine (?PENICILLIN). It is a treatment for Syphilis.
Groin gaping might be due to intertrigo which has not related to Chlamydial infection or Syphilis. It could be possibly due to yeast infection, ring worm or due to excessive wetness of that area (sweating) or tight clothes.
The treatment is different. Consult a Dermatologist. He/she will help you to cure the same.
