There are many possible explanations for the swelling and itchiness. One possibility is that you are having an allergic skin reaction to something. This could be a new soap, lotion, or detergent. It is also possible that it is due to irritation from shaving, or reaction to a new shaving cream. Yeast can cause this problem as well. You can use a hydrocortisone cream that will help with the itch, but if it persists, you should see your doctor to help you figure out what your problem might be.

I hope thios helps, please let me know if you need more information.
