Hi,
It seems that this might be due to friction induced patch due to pressure on this site,
But as moisturizing lotion or steroid cream does not give much relief, there might be having possibility of fungal infection.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Avoid wearing synthetic inner wears.
Wear cotton inner wears.
Ok and take care.
