Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor You seem to have fungal infection in the groin folds, presenting as redness, discomfort and bad odor. Wearing tight undergarments making things worse for you. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to wear loose fitting cotton undergarments. I would suggest a topical antifungal mixed with a topical steroid e.g. clotrimazole + beclomethasone cream, twice daily for 2 weeks, thereafter once the inflammation and redness subsides, you may switch over to plain antifungal e.g. clotrimazole cream for another 2 weeks. An Oral antifungal e.g. fluconazole 150 mg once weekly for 4 weeks in addition to the topical antifungals, would bring about rapid relief. An OTC antihistamine e.g. cetirizine or Decline, would provide symptomatic relief from itching. Regular use of an antifungal dusting powder e, g clotrimazole dusting powder would prevent a recurrence. Regards
