It sounds like Diesel is experiencing some discomfort with redness and scabbing in the groin area. This could be due to a variety of reasons, including infections (whether bacterial, fungal, or parasitic), allergies, or irritation from grooming products or environmental factors. Please understand that it is difficult to tell his exact condition and cause from the photo.

Firstly, it's important to keep the affected area clean. You can gently clean it with a mild antiseptic solution or saline solution. Be sure to avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps, as these could further irritate his skin.

If Diesel is trying to scratch or lick the area, it might be helpful to use an e-collar. This can prevent further irritation and reduce the risk of secondary infections.

It's crucial to monitor the area for any changes, such as increased redness, swelling, discharge, or signs that your dog is in pain. If the condition doesn't improve within a few days or if it worsens, take him to a vet.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
