Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: May be due to moisture

Explanation: Napkin type rash can occur in groin also, because of moisture. So, apply oint soframycin locally for relief. Please keep area clean and dry and change the position frequently to prevent decreased blood flow. Please visit a doctor for proper physical examination.
