Pigmentation and itchy areas can be due to allergy to something you put on, or a fungal infection, especially in the warm areas of the body. It is important to have it examined properly but in the meantime try an Antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. You can also try Travocort which will also help with the itching and pigmentation.
