Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on the information that you have posted I think you have what is called as Jack itch (Fungal infection of the skin.

Take anti fungal medication like Fluconazole twice daily orally along with topical anti fungal jelly Flucon or Candid for local application in groin .

Ensure to wash your inner wares in hot water mixed with antiseptic solution like Dettol.

ensure to observe proper personal hygiene by cleaning entire affected area with warm water twice daily.
