Hello dear,

Considering the case history that you have recurrent infection with jock itch, the lesion as mentioned in your post can be attributed to contact dermatitis or any fungal infection.

Application of ointment like Lobate GM (pharmacologically Clobetasol + Miconazole + Neomycin) will reduce the symptoms.
1. Clobetasol being a steroid will reduce the inflammatory process
2. Miconazole being an anti-fungal agent will take care of any fungus causing the symptoms
3. Neomycin being an anti-bacterial agent will prevent secondary bacterial infections.

In addition, keep the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
