Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis.
You should try to keep the affected region clean and dry .
Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region .
Wear cotton clothed in order to reduce sweating.
You need to use an antifungal agent over the affected area twice a day.
Also you might need to take oral antifungals .
And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
See a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and management.
Hope it helps,
