General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Recurrent genital itch could be due to chronic fugal infection, contact/allergic dermatitis, lichen palnus.
I would suggest to dermatologist and undergo detailed examination, skin biopsy/swab test to confirm the cause.
Specific treatment will depend on the cause
You can use cortisone cream for short term use
Apply vagisil cream
Tablet levocetrizine at the bed time
Ointment ciclosporin can be used after proper evaluation
Wear pure cotton loose inner and change it after the work out.
Keep the area clean and dry
Wash the genitalia with warm salted water 2-3 times per day
Drink plenty of water and eat healthy diet
Hope this may help you
