Hi,
Rash in groin areas would be tinea cruris. It is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes.You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Take antifungal like ketoconazole or itraconazole for two weeks. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole. Keep the area dry. Cleanse the area with dettol containing water. Improve hygiene and immunity. Avoid perspiration and wetness. You may become alright. I hope you got my answer.
