The itching, redness and burnt-looking skin on your thigh and vulva area, especially since it's come back after years, points to a fungal skin infection (candidiasis or intertrigo). This is common in skin folds that stay warm and moist, and can recur more easily with fatty liver and vitamin deficiencies affecting your skin's resistance.
Next Steps
Keep the area clean and completely dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight synthetic clothing. An antifungal cream such as clotrimazole usually clears this in 2 to 3 weeks, but confirm it with your doctor given your other conditions.
Health Tips
If it doesn't improve in 3 weeks, spreads further, or keeps recurring, please see a gynaecologist or dermatologist, since recurrent infections can sometimes need a blood sugar check too.
