Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed fungal infection.

The area of groin around labia is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.

once infection develops dryness can occur.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.

Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.

These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.

Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
