Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggesting me that you may be having fungal infection. These area are prone to develop fungal infection because of moist and wet environment.

You require physical examination to confirm the diagnosis, for your symptoms I would like to suggest
1.Keep the area clean and dry
2.Topical application of antifungal cream like griseoflavin.
3.Oral antihistamines.
Thank you.
