Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms you present could be caused by a fungal skin infection, allergy/local irritation.I will suggest you see a Dermatologist for examination.You may continue with the itching medication prescribed by your GI doctor or you take an anti-histamine like loratadine while you prepare to see the Dermatologist.I will also recommend good genital hygiene and ironing of dresses and under wears especially the ones you use at night.
Hope this will help you
