Brief Answer:
Panty line rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand that you have rash in your groin area. It could be a fungal infection called tinea cruris or intertrigo which is an allergy because of moisture, heat an friction.
Can you please tell me what are the creams that you apply ?
How long has the rash been there ?

Brief Answer:
Itchy rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back,
You did not upload any pictures ?! If it is jock itch tinactin is the best option. Use it for three weeks. If it is intertrigo a mix of tinactin and hydrocortisone for two weeks will be beneficial. It is always safer to try plain antifungal cream like tinactin in case of doubt. Consulting a doctor will be the best solution.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
