HI.
This is called a jock's itch. The area is mentioned is not exposed to the air so the sweat gives an environment which facilitates the growth of the fungal infection.
The treatment is:
Exposing the are at the air whenever is possible like when you are at home.
Clean with water , dry this with cotton cloth or hair-dryer, apply pure anti-fungal lotions. You may also take an anti-fungal oral tablets as advised by your Doctor.
This take s about 3 weeks to 3 months for a cure . Do not stop stop treatment in between.
