Hi. Along with the picture this definitely looks like a fungal infection - tinea corporis et cruris. You will need an allylamine based anti fungal cream to apply twice daily for three weeks and weekly oral azole antifungal tablets for three to four weeks. You could take cetrizine for about a week to reduce the itch. Please meet a dermatologist near you for prescription of the same. Hope this helps.
