Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, it is better to rule out fungal infection. So, apply an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole cream and dusting powder on groin for 2 weeks. In case of no response, do consult your dermatologist for pinpointing accurate diagnosis and the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
