A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itchy groin: The common cause of groin itch is an infection with a fungus which is called tinea cruris. This condition is commonly called "jock itch". The fungus is contageous, and grows in moist warm areas of the skin. Treatment with anti-fungal cream e.g. Lotrimin (clotrimazole) (butenafin) applied twice per day , change shorts after exercising and sweating in groin area to keep area dry, change towels or use paper.
