Brief Answer:
Fungal skin infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Seems like you have developed a fungal infection of the groin region.
Such lesions are quite common especially due to increased sweating and infrequent bathing.
You need to apply a topical antifungal cream containing clotrimazole over the affected area twice a day. Something like canestan cream is an easily available over the counter drug for the same.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it.
Wear cotton clothes as much as possible so as to decrease sweating.
Use the medicine for atleast two weeks continuously. I am sure it will help.
Please ask if you have any other query
