Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would like to keep a possibility of fungal infection/Tinea cruris. In order to confirm my diagnosis, I would suggest a KOH scraping test.
In case it is found out to be fungal in origin, I would have advised a topical antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole or miconazole cream twice daily to be applied locally.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help him symptomatically with the itch.
