Kindly sent the picture of the concerned area for a proper diagnosis to be made , most likely you suffer from Fungal infection that is also known as jockeys itch , the cream you are using currently contains a topical steroid if you use the same on a long term basis it will make the skin sensitive and atrophic and strech Mark's will develop , it will be better that you stop the steroid based cream that you are applying and start using a moisturizing cream and consult a Dermatologist online for a proper management
