Hi,
From the description it seems you could be having fungal infection of groins. For the same a course of oral antifungal like fluconazole is required along with topical antifungal creams like clotrimazole. If the lesions are too itchy, you may also take oral cetirizine. Wear loose cotton clothes, keep the area dry and well ventilated.
Hope that answers your query. Take care.
