It sounds like some kind of fungal infection like jock itch maybe or even contact dermatitis. Is there are redness, flakiness, or any other symptoms?

I would see a dermatologist if I were you!

S T O P scratching it only irritates the skin more

Hi Barry - I'm from New Zealand. I think I have the same problem as you.
But in my case it itches around my pubic hair,down the shaft of my penis & my testicals - drives me f..... crazy.
One part there I thought I had crabs or scabies so I used Malathion Lotion for a few days - The itch came back.
Today I ran a hot bath & put Detol in it - When I got in - Man it stung like hell. Any way I used a non perfumed soap called Dove & gently washed the area for a good 10 - 15 minutes. Dried off & applied Calamine Lotion around my pubic hair,penis & testicals.
Honest - the itch has gone.
Give it a shot man - read the instructions on the bottle.
I'm one of those guys who puts nice smelling perfumes on around my private parts etc.
I was told not to do that any more - Non perfumed petrolium jelly or vaseline was recommended instead.
Be careful with soap powders & perfumes.
Good Luck Dude.
