General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having fungal infection (Tinea) in the groin region.

Management includes:
1. Keeping the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.
2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to reduce the itching sensation & provide symptomatic relief.
3. Application of topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole to tackle the causative organism.

If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause.
So that appropriate management steps could be taken.

Also avoid wearing tight undergarments & trousers...as it will cause sweating & predispose to fungal infections.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
