Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection. Using anti fungal lotions like ketoconazole or terbinafine will be helpful for this. You can also take anti histamines like benadryl or cetrizine for relieving from itching. If that is not helping then oral anti fungal agents like fluconazole will be helpful. You can consult your GP for this. Change sweaty clothes in time. Keep the area dry.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
