Hi Edblu sorry I missed this before but welcome! 
I too have a bit of psoriasis in the groin area currently, only one side, I did use trimovate as directed by the derm nurse, but it thinned the skin so I’m wary of using steroids in that area.
Given where it is in a skin fold, I did wonder if it could have any fungal element (and it’s easy for that to set in with the compromised skin) so it’s a good idea to try and rule it out.
I have even found a laundry additive which I use in an undies and socks wash, which is anti fungal as well as antiseptic because in this age of cool laundry washes there’s a chance of things not being killed off. Perhaps a little paranoid lol..
As to the vitamin d, I’ve been using the one you spray in your mouth for a long while now, I think it’s the 3,000 dose. I don’t think it really does anything for my skin though. I don’t know if I’m low in it or not but it’s fair to assume we all are in this country.
