Chronic tinea cruris and pedis, recently i started to itch over the whole body but have no rash except feet and groin.could this itch be from tinea ?

Yes: And I have seen it. This is called an id reaction from the tinea. Most of the time, this condition can be treated with antifungal pills (may take several months). In the meanwhile , try some cortisone cream.
