Hello dear,The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Ringworm (Tinea) infection.Management includes:1. Keeping the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to reduce the itching sensation & provide symptomatic relief.3. Application of topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole to tackle the causative organism.If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause.So that appropriate management steps could be taken.Also avoid wearing tight trousers & underwear...as it will cause sweating & predispose to fungal infections.Wishing you a Good Health.Take care.
