Dermatologist Dr. Bharat Chawda's  Response
Hi!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,

It seems to be fungal infection called AS TINEA CRURIS,which manifest as reddish or black pigmentation over groins associated with itching .It is seen more commonly in patients who are diabetic and who sweat a lot.
For your other problem of frequent micturation ,I would suggest you to get a blood sugar level done ,as this symptom is seen in diabetes.
For fungal infection you need to take anti fungal tablets and creams like fluconazole ,terbinafin etc.You can consult a dermatologist for this.
For your urine problem you can either meet a physician or a urologist.

regards,
Dr.chawda
