You may be suffering from fungal infection of the inner thighs groin and buttocks area which we call tinea cruris. this is commonly referred as jock itch. It is easily treatable by taking 4 to 6 weeks of treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Wrong treatment with over the counter creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, betnovate dermikem OC candid B, hh zole leads to severe side effects and also repeated recurrences. please do not use super body wash over the affected areas. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consultation for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread for the on your body and also to other people living in the household

Hi,
From your description it could be herpes zoster.
This is a viral infection which if not treated properly can have severe pain post lesions called post herpetic neuralgia.
The virus that causes is the same as chicken pox virus.
If you have other conditions like diabetes it may be more severe.
Next Steps
do not ignore, consult through practo with photos.
