Hello lybrate-User, You have a condition that is called jocks itch or tinea cruris. It is a fungal infection in the skin of the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks it is very common in India more than 1 million cases per year (India). The condition most often occurs when people wear tight-fitting clothing (in your case jeans) that traps in moisture. Treatment includes wearing loose-fitting clothes, keeping the groin area clean and dry as well as applying topical antifungal medication. Hope this has helped. Thank you.
