Hello, I understand our concern for the peeling of the skin at various areas especially inner thighs and vagina. It appears from your query that you have fungal infection of the area called as Tina. This is quite common to find such kind of pictures due to moist areas at thigh folds and peri-vaginal areas. I suggest you to maintain good hygiene and keep the area Chat Doctor.  Change the undergarments for two times a day. DO to wear any synthetic garments and stay away form heat and humidity. In my patients I suggest them to apply an antifungal cream such as ketoconazole or clotrimazole for two times a day. For itching, I prefer to give anti-histamine such as cetirizine for two times a day. All the best.
