Hi,
It looks like you are infected by Tinea cruris, it commonly occurs in the moist warn areas of the body.
1. Keep your genital area clean & dry. It is a fungal infection & anti-fungals can effectively control the spread & clear in up. You can take a course of Fluconazole orally. You can apply antifungal creams, sprays & ointments locally for relieve.
2. Do not share your toiletries or clothes with anyone. Take showers at least twice every day.
3. Sexual contact or skin to skin contact can spread the jock itch( Tinea cruris) from the groin area to any part of the body & cause the spread of infection.
However, since you are sexually active get physically examined & get STI tests done to rule out genital herpes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
