Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some local skin infection like dermatitis or fungal infection.
There is also a possibility of having worm infestation.
Go for stool test to rule out worm infestation.
Apply triple action cream or anti-fungal cream locally.
Take Benadryl or Levo-cetrizine for itching.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
