Brief Answer:
Nothing very serious.

Detailed Answer:
Hello man,
Sorry for such a long delay in my response.
It is ok if you are not comfortable ( I am asking about pic so I could be able to guide better).
There could be three possible causes -
1)Dermatitis 2)Lichen sclerosis 3)Yeast infection
Treatment depends upon cause.
In your case with your history it is most likely due to lichen sclerosis and there is no exact pathology for this disease.
No exact test to diagnose lichen sclerosis.
Treatment is basically over the counter steroid for local application.
Hope found usefu.
Good luck.
Regards
