Hi,
It is not clear that what type of infection is present on your genital area.
This might be some local causes like yeast infection, dermatitis or ingrown hair follicle infection.
This is normal if there is lack of personal hygiene and do not hesitate telling your parents.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
After proper diagnosis he will go for treatment accordingly.
Keep local hygiene clean, well shaved and dry.
Ok and take care.
