Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Inflammed, dry scaly skin in the groin area, suggests to me that it could be due to fungal infection over there (Tinea cruris).

I would ask you get a KOH wet mount from the scale, for a confirmatory diagnosis.

If KOH wet mount shows fungal elements, then you could apply a topical OTC antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 4-6 weeks.

An oral antifungal e.g fluconazole 150mg once weekly for 4-6 weeks is also advisable for a confirmed fungal infection.

An OTC antihistamine e,g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help you in providing symptomatic relief from itching.
