Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

If i as your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply an antifungal cream like the one containing clotrimazole, ketoconazole, sertaconazole Or Luliconazole etc.

Lobate GM is not advisable because it contains a potent steroid which can damage the delicate skin of groins.

I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis and also for prescription of medicines(antifungals). Your treating dermatologist might also want to prescribe you an oral antifungal like fluconazole

An oral antihistamine like cetrizine once daily will help you with the itch part.

take care
regards
