Hi
Thanks for posting you query on HCM
Severe itching around groin could be caused by a local bacteria or fungal infection, local skin irritation, allergy.The fact that the place is red point more to an infectious origin.I will suggest you try the following:
-Good genital hygiene
-Try an anti-histamine like benedryl cream/or oral
-Bath with anti-septic soap or solution like cyteal
If the problem persist, you see the Doctor for investigation as antibiotics or antifunagal cream may be indicated.This will however be the judgement of your Doctor.
Thanks
