You may be suffering from jock itch, which is a fungal infection. Application of an OTC anti-fungal powder, cream, or spray can treat your issue. Speak to your pharmacist.

If you exercise a lot, wear tight pants. and sweat but don't wash area thoroughly than a build up of bacteria can result leading to a fungal infection. Scratching only spreads the infection and causes more irritation. Go to pharmacy and get OTC anti-fungal cream and or powder and apply as directed. Always wash area and sleep with loose garments.

My advice would be a course of an ointment such as mycolog which combines corticosteroid ( which will relieve itching) with an anti fungal ointment. Avoid tight jeans and wear loose white cotton briefs.
