What Causes Itching In Groin Area?

Hi! I have frequent itching in the crease part of my groin (both left and right). This problem started 2 years ago. Now, it has become my habit to keep rubbing my groin. The intensity of itching seems to increase after I masturbate, and remain for 3-4 days. I have tried applying Vaselines etc, which help to solve the itching temporarily. Due to shyness, I have never get this problem checked by a doctor, however, after visiting your page,thought to inquire about the matter from u. Regards.
