I am 15 years old and the area around my penis has been itchy since I was 13. I would scratch it all the time and over the years the itchy part of my genital area where my pubic hairs are has turned pinkish and the skin cracks and peels off everyday. I lost my virginity at age 15 but it's been like that since I was 13. I try putting lotion but it doesn't do much. I have to frequently put lotion on. I have seen a doctor about it and I don't know what to do. Answers please?

It may be the soap you are using or you are sensitive to the laundry detergent used to clean your underwear. Try changing your soap or detergent. If you masturbate often you may be drying out the skin and irritating it. Lay off for a week or two and see what happens. Try an ointment or lotion that is for dry and sensitive skin. I've read not to use vaseline as petroleum jelly is bad for the skin. You may need to see a dermatologist to rule out a fungal or bacterial infection.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have a yeast infection.
You may try to treat it at home by:
1. Washing the area.
2. Drying the area thoroughly.
3. Applying athlete's foot cream containing clotrimazole.
