Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Image.
It seems like a fungal infection of groin i.e tinea cruris. Probable causes are heat and sweat/ moisture which are conducive to fungal growth.
I suggest you to use a topical antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole 1% cream (lotrimin cream), twice daily for 2-4 weeks.
Regards
