Skin Condition In Groin Area, Might Be Fungal Infection Or Eczema, Skin Darkening, Itching. Remedy?

I have been having a skin problem in the groin area of my body for last 15 years. During this period I have gone under many doctors but none could cure my disease. Some prescribed it as fungal infection while a few others considered it to be eczema . My skin is basically very rough and dry. in that part the skin is a little blakish and it drives me to scratch the skin there and if i do so, the skin gets wet a bit . Please advise me the remedy.

Welcome to HCM
Greetings of day
From your description it appears to be persistent /recurrent fungal infection. Get your sugar levels also checked as it could be the cause. Local antifungal dusting powder, hygiene and keeping the area clean and dry will help.
Take care
