Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
Perhaps you have a fungal infection of groin i.e tinea cruris. I suggest you to use a topical over the counter (OTC) antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for t weeks. You may also take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab. Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
