Itching In The Groin Area, Discoloration. Reddish Ring Formed. Any Medication?

I'm a white male, early 30's. I have developed a uncomfortable itch in my groin area, mostly on the inside of my thigh where my scrotum is in regular contact. It started becoming discolored a few weeks ago, a light tan/brown color. Tonight I noticed a red ring outlining the discoloration on my left thigh. It mainly itches in the evening when I'm about to take a shower. Is this something gold bond or another otc powder or creme could remedy?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You are probably suffering from Tinea cruris a fungal infection.

Apply oint clotrimazole for a month, you will get relief.

If it persists you can meet a dermatologist.
