Hi

You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the area.
You should avoid application of any oils or moisturizers over the affected area.
You need to use a topical antifungal cream over the affected area twice a day.
Take some oral antihistamines for the itching.
You might as well need a course of oral antifungals.
Wear cotton undergarments in order to decrease the associated itching.

See a nearby dermatologist if the condition persists inspite of treatment.

Hope it helps
