I trimmed the pubic hair two weeks ago and a rash has developed with slightly blackish skin in the groin skin fold. The boundary of rash is having red bumps which are small. I also have other red bumps on my legs. The rash is itchy and if scratched, scaly white skin peels of.
I have trimmed pubic hair before but this is happening first time.

This description is classical for fungal infection. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
