What ur having could b a Fungal infection or also c condition called Intertrigo coz of the sweating and friction. Candid powder will give some relief for sure.
Avoid OTC creams completely coz if there is a steroid element in that it will get worse with time.
Corroborate with relevant pictures for a more accurate diagnosis and Consult with a Dermatologist for further evaluation.
Health Tips
keep the groin area dry and use the powder twice daily
