Hi there.
Your problem you state exists for 1 year!!
That's a long time for any fungal infection to exist unless you have more than one problem or it has been resistant to treatment or the treatment has been incomplete.
Clear pics of the area will clarify if there is any clinical morphology to appreciate or if it is simply just an itch in the area without any rash.
More details on your medical, personal, family and contact history will be useful to make a proper evaluation.
Best Advice is to connect with a senior Dermatologist and the best way is to probably CONSULT ONLINE or go for an INSTANT Consultation 🙏 on this portal or any other online portal eg Apollo 24/7 and search 🔍 for the Dermatologist of your choice.
Health Tips
Stress may be an issue and multiple stress busters eg isometric exercises like Yoga, swimming etc are recommended.
Avoid Home remedies and OTC products.

Ok, this seems like Tinea cruris-corporis
Unless you have applied any OTC product cintaining steroid, it would have been converted into Tinea incognito
Next Steps
Consult to a Dermatologist ( online / in clinic visit )
Health Tips
This can spread to family members/ room mates , so use hygiene habits like different towel, different soap, wash your cloths differently, etc
