Hello,
I have gone through your query and I understand your concern.
You can take Tab Atarax 10 mg at night to stop the itching.
First try to rule out the cause for itching, whether it is fungal infection or it is due to excessive sweat and re use of garments.
Kindly also once check your blood sugar levels.
Till then keep yourself well hydrated, keep the area dry and clean, regularly wash your under garments and dry them under Sunlight. Avoid fatty and sweet foods.
Hope this helps,
