Hello and thank you for using healthcaremagic.

From your description of the condition, you seem to be having some problem leading to itching as a main symptom. This might be due to a lot of reasons, but the most important and common ones are prickly heat(which can occur due to tight, slow drying clothes) or a fungal infection. Normally if a patient comes to me with similar problem, I would give the patient an oral antihistamine to help with the itching. Then I will check whether the itch is bacterial or fungal in origin.

As you haven't provided any other clues I will refrain from making a diagnosis.

At this point I will advice visiting a dermatologist. Till then wear loose clothes, keep the area dry.

Hope that the information provided is useful for your query.

Feel free to ask any further questions if you have.

Thanks again and get well soon.
