Fungal infections in the groin are commonly referred to as jock itch or tinea cruris. They occur when certain types of fungi, such as dermatophytes, grow and multiply in warm and moist areas of the body, like the groin. Symptoms of a fungal infection in the groin may include: Red, itchy rash: The affected area often becomes red, itchy, and inflamed. The rash may have well-defined edges and small, raised blisters or scales. Itching and burning: The rash can cause intense itching and a burning sensation, which can be uncomfortable. Peeling or cracking skin: The skin in the groin area may become dry, flaky, or start to peel. Odor: Fungal infections can sometimes cause an unpleasant odor. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite self-care measures, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional or dermatologist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include prescription-strength antifungal medications.

Online consultation wont help you in this case, go and visit nearest dermatologist and show them the current condition of your infection so that they can prescribe you suitable medications accordingly. It is curable and you will have to be very regular with treatment and maintain personal hygiene. If any family member has similar issue then get them treated as well.
