Hi.
Noted your findings of stickiness between scrotum and thigh, which is not getting away in spite of shower and using loose clothing.
The cause is obviously an infection of the skin and may be with secondary infection with fungus.
I would advise you the following in such a case:
Continue the showering and using loose clothing.
Avoid hot and humid atmosphere, the real cause behind such a problem. You may need an oral antibiotic and anti-fungal medicines along with antihistamine.
Try to be in a controlled temperature job and at home lik using AC and so on.
Use multivitamins and good diet.
This will surely go away. But recurs easily if you are exposed to the same temperature like hot and humid.
Consult a Dermatologist if required.
