Brief Answer:
The possibility of fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.

From the description, it looks like you have developed a fungal infection of the penis which might be tinea infection but i will be able to say exactly only after careful inspection at the lesion,so it would be better if you can send me a picture of that.

It may lead to dryness and scaling in the that region and the inner thigh area which can be associated with severe itching. It usually heals with darkening of the affected skin.

You should take regular treatment so as to cure this problem completely.

Kindly get back to me with more information and images.
