You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.,

The redness and itching in groin area is most likely to be due to a fungal reason. The other common cause as you rightly pointed out could be dermatitis, more accurately friction dermatitis. But before prescribing treatment we would need to examine to confirm the cause. You can do an online consultation with me or visit a dermatologist in your vicinity. Hope this was helpful.
