There are a few possibilities for this kind of rash.It can be a fungal infection(Tinea cruris) or a contact or irritant ( xerotic) dermatitis.
Wash your groin,armpits and inner thighs daily and then dry thoroughly by pat drying,not rubbing. A hairdryer is useful if you have hairy groins or armpits.The damp skin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply.Also wear cotton underwears 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.Pls don’t apply any medicated powder or cream without informing your dermatologist as it may aggravate the condition.Powder may also clog the skin pores leading to more dampness and hence more fungal growth.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
