hi Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the infra mammaryregion, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis. You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry . Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region . Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating. You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day. Also you might need to take oral antifungals like fluconazole . And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
Hope it helps,
