Does Persistent Itching On Scrotum Indicate Jock Itch?

Recently my scrotum started to itch a LOT. I scratched it but the itch was very persistent..
After a while the skin started to get raw, and it would still be itchy. I would scratch it even though it would kind of hurt.
On the spots where the skin became raw, there would be skin colored scabs forming on top. I could peel off the scabs but the pinkish skin would show again underneath.
When I scratch for too long a sticky clear fluid forms on top of the area.
It's located on the side of my testicles, and in the center.
Is this jock itch?
What could I do to stop this? I play sports and I do sweat there, but it's never been itchy like that before.
Thanks
