hi...
without looking at the lesions its very difficult to comment...but you mentioned groin area and scratching then you should be having fungal infection with eczematous changes... best way is to see a dermatologist only or you can try anti fungal plus mild steroid cream for 10 days followed by plain anti fungal cream...you can also take antiallergy tablets...best way is to keep the area as dry as possible..dont use innerwear when at home...just use a big boxer..use antifungal powder as well...
dont worry
