It's most probably an atopic eczema I've had the same issue. I've had no childhood history of the condition. It suddenly appeared when I was 21 year old. Getting rid of sugars, milk products, gluten containing cereals and adding more fats, greens, fermented foods into my diet helped to contain the reappearance of the eczema.

Oils that I've used to ease the itching were coconut oil and hemp seed oil.

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of fungal infection or tinea cruris. The damp groin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply. Wear cotton underwear and change them twice a day. and do not share other people’s towels. Application of local antifungal cream(terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole) and oral antifungal drugs are the mainstay of treatment.

Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
