Hi,
The material of compression shorts can make anyone itchy.
Shaving also leads to bristle like feeling and uneasiness.
Theerefore shaving also will not help.
You should let it grow and keep it at half length or so and apply anti-pruritic medicines like Calamine lotion.
If it does not go away then it could be a fungal infection and you would need to apply ointment like Clotrimazole or Tinaderm.
All the best,
