Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
If itching is the only symptom it is likely to be fungal infection.
Let him clean the area with warm water twice daily.
Apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole lotion.
Take antihistamine like cetrizine
Keep area dry.
Wear loose clothes
Treat partner also if itching or white discharge
If burning urination then he needs urine examination
You can get back with clear photos of lesion if any and clear details of site distribution etc
