This looks like fungal infection or dermatitis, which is common in the groin area due to sweat and friction. It won’t improve on its own and needs proper treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a Cosmetologist/dermatologist (they commonly treat this issue, nothing to be shy about).
Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid tight clothing.
Do not use steroid creams on your own, as they worsen the problem.
With the right antifungal/medicated treatment, it usually improves quickly.
