Brief Answer:
Fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This looks like a kind of fungal infection of the skin. In such case it should be itchy and rough in touch.
If there was any injury of this area, simple skin rub can be the case.

I suggest you to try antifungal cream twice a day. You should also keep this area clean and dry. Wear loose underwear and wash it gently with water and soap.
If this wont help in a week or so, you should consult dermatologist.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Herpes is hardly possible.

Detailed Answer:
Herpes (as most of viral infection) gives boils as a first symptom. So this does not look like a Herpes.
If its fungal infection, it may be contagious.

Brief Answer:
Lotriderm can help.

Detailed Answer:
Fungal infection can appear in few areas of the skin. This is possible.

Lotriderm can help in case of fungal infection. Just note that such infection treatment is sometimes very hard and can take even few months. That is why I have asked you to consult dermatologist if regular antifungal cream won’t be effective.
