Allergic spots are reddish bumps an are usually associated with itching.It could be a fungal infection which is common in the groin called Tinea.
Tinea cruris is the scientific name for fungal infection of the groin region. Official alternative names include jock itch. It causes itching or a burning sensation in the groin area.
Affected areas may appear red, tan, or brown.The border may exhibit tiny pimples or even pustules, with central areas that are reddish and dry with small scales.
A warm, damp environment allowing the fungus to cultivate greatly contributes; especially with tight, sweaty or rubbing clothing.
Anti-fungal creams containing tolnaftate, clotrimazole or miconazole can be used.
You can use talcum powder to help keep the area dry. Powders with menthol or zinc oxide may be used, like Gold Bond medicated powder, to soothe the itch.

If it is an allergy it will respond well to oral anti-histamines and menthol-containing creams applied on the affected areas.
