You are probably having fungal infection.Use loose cotton clothes.Keep area dry and clean.You can apply antifungal cream like dk gel with tab.cetrizine at night.There is no need to alter your eating habits.Use a antifungal powder at day time.In case itching does not subside consult a dermatologist.
Hope this will help you.Take care.
