Hello,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of a severe form of fungal infection otherwise called as jock itch.
You can apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water.
Always keep the affected area dry.
If symptoms persist you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
