To begin with stop using the cream u r. It has a steroid base and that will lead to more problems later with more recurrence. Ur history suggests u have Intertrigo or even could b a fungal infection. Keep the the groin area dry is important. Use a medicated anti fungal powder and soap also. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
Health Tips
wear loose fitting clothes, keep the area dry with use of powder. stop using steroid based creams unless prescribed
