This does not sound like intestinal worms.
The description fits fungal infection of groin (Tinea cruris / “Jock itch”):
Common in young men.
Worse with sweating, tight clothes, sweets/high
sugar (because fungus thrives in moist, sugary environment).
Recurrent if not treated properly or if same clothes/towels are reused.

✅ What To Do
1. General Measures
Keep groin dry and clean.
Wear loose cotton underwear, avoid synthetic tight clothes.
Change underwear daily.
Avoid sharing towels/soap.
Dry groin well after bathing.
2. Medications (common regimen)
Rx
1. Topical antifungal cream (Clotrimazole 1% or Luliconazole 1%)
– Apply thin layer on affected area twice daily after washing & drying.
– Continue for 3–4 weeks (even if symptoms improve earlier).
2. Antifungal powder (Clotrimazole or Absorbent powder)
– Apply in daytime to keep area dry.
3. Oral antifungal (if recurrent/severe, only after doctor consult):
– Fluconazole 150 mg once weekly × 4 weeks OR
– Terbinafine 250 mg once daily × 2 weeks.
3. Avoid
Overuse of steroid creams (like Betnovate, Candid-B, Quadriderm) → makes fungal infection worse.
Repeated unnecessary Albendazole (not useful here).

🚨 See a doctor if:
Itching is severe and persistent.
Skin shows spreading black patches, thick scaling, or pus.
Diabetes suspected (frequent fungal infections + sweets trigger → rule out with blood sugar test).

The itching is most likely recurrent fungal infection (Tinea cruris), not worms.
