Most likely due to fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying.
Using anti fungal creams like Miconazole (Daktarin) or Terbinafine (Lamisil) for local application will be helpful to clear this. Avoid tight underwear. Use loose and cotton ones. Avoid using soaps on genital area also. You can use just warm water or saline instead for washing.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
