Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea cruris. My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine.
4. Other treatment options are oral Fluconazole and Terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
