Hello,
It may be due to dry skin. For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. For itching you can take tablet loratidine. Avoid sweating and harsh cosmetic products.
Maintain proper hygiene. Watch for symptoms penile ulcer, discharge.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
