Hi,
As you had a history of fungal infection and get cured completely.
At present,it could be due to recurrent candidiasis or tinea cruris or corporis or dermatitis or scabies etc.
You may do some routine blood investigations and skin swab test but this kind of problem can be easily diagnosed by naked eye examination of a skin specialist.
You may require topical corticosteroid with antifungal cream and other symptomatic treatment.
But better you consult dermatologist and then start treatment.
Thanks and regards
