Hello,
Thanks for the query,
These red bumps might be tinea curries
You might have developed fungal infection.
The area of groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders are available.

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.

Wishing you good health,
Thank you
