Brief Answer:
Upload a photo if possible.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It'll be good if you upload a photo in reports to see the red spot.
Sometimes the redness and itching may come from STD so you can get tested for STD.

If it is a fungal infection antifungal creams such as miconazole, clotrimazole used for five days can resolve it.
They are found as OTC.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
