Brief Answer:
Yes, you should show it to dermatologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It looks like kind of fungal infection. Can be itchy from time to time. For sure this is nothing malignant.
And yes, it would be good to show it to dermatologist. Some antifungal cream should help.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
