Hello,
You are suffering from itching on the penis glans and foreskin after intercourse. Your symptoms are indicative of a fungal infection like a jock itch (tinea cruris), you are suggested to take care of your hygiene, take bath regularly. After bath / shower you can apply ointment clotrimazole antifungal cream on the area affected to control the spread. Take a course of antifungal medicines orally for better and quicker recovery.
Do not touch, scratch, pick or pop as it will result in the spread of infection. You should keep your private organs clean and dry. The infection should go away in 5-7 days. However, such symptoms can also occur due to HPV infection causing penile irritation. HPV is a viral infection and results in itchy genital warts. You can apply Hydrocortisone ointment on the area affected to reduce itching. Get STD tests done, if tests are positive, you will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
