Having Itchy Urethra, Sexually Active. Can Hygiene Or UTI May Be The Cause And How To Cure?

Hi, i'm an 18 year old male. i am currently sexually active, and havent had sex for the past 3 weeks. About a week or so ago my uretha has been extremely itchy. I've been feeling around to find the source of the itch and it seems to be in my uretha but all the way by my scrotum. What could this be? i have not had hot water in a few months, which has not given me the chance to have had a full warm shower. Could not showering for an extended period of time be the cause? My biggest issue is i do not want to have an std or disease. I read around online and it seems like it could be a yeast infection or a urinary tract. Can you give me some insight on this? Things i can do at home to help cure? or clinics i can go do with maybe a free diagnosis?
