Brief Answer:
Either contact dermatitis or ingrowing hair

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I have gone through your complaints and itching could be due to either contact dermatitis to veet or due to ingrowing hair.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid antibiotic combination like mometasone and fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily for 10-14 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
