Brief Answer:
Diagnosis should be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Itching in the perineal area can be due to urinary tract infection or due to fungal infection.
Sometime, intimate wash can also cause irritation due to the chemicals present in it.
I will suggest you to stop using the intimate wash, and consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
