Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection, similar to athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and responding to similar treatments. It's different than allergic skin reactions. Other skin infections can cause similar symptoms. From your description, it could be jock itch, other infection, allergy, chemical irritation, dry skin, or something else entirely. Get professional care, ideally a dermatologist.
