Might have jock itch?

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

Hi, I think I have jock itch (groin area), but I'm not completely sure since the skin isn't red. At one point it might have been red but now, the skin is has darkened and thickened (I don't know how to explain it in medical terms). Itching is growing more persistent by the day. I'm female, 23 y.o. if that helps. I have a slender build. Good hygiene, pretty well-balanced diet. The cause might have been abrasive undies and/or sweating? Not sure.
