Welcome to HCM.It appears that you have a fungal infection of the groin,keeping the area dry will help.Use of local antifungalcreams like Clotrimazole and oral antiifungals like fluconazole will help.Continue the drugs for 3 weeks after symptoms diappear to prevent recurrence.

Hi,
It seems that these rashes might be due to hot condition and lots of perspiration.
Continue applying neosporin.
Apply some moisturizing cream.
Keep local part clean and airy.
Ok and take care.
