Dear Srisubh,from the symptoms it seems that you are having chronic skin infection like fungal infection like ring worm,Please do not go for any form of self medication.Visit your doctor who will prescribe specific drugs meant for the purpose.Apart from this stop wearing tight clothes like jeans.Wear more of cotton clothes.Take bath twice in a day.Bye and take care.

Hi!srisubh,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
You are suffering from fungal infection called tinea cruris and corporis.This is usually seen in occluded parts of the body(folds) where one sweats a lot.You need a course of oral anti fungal along with topical creams and anti fungal powder.This needs to be continued for at-least a month , after which you should see that it doesn't recur. Always maintain good hygienic conditions.
regards,
Dr.chawda
