Hi
See the type of itching that you have can be due to two major causes.
Either it is due to an infection ,that is a fungal infection or it can be due to an eczematous skin condition.
Now the treatment for both of these skin conditions is entirely different, so I would advise you not to self treat yourself.
You might need treatment with either topical steroids or with topical antifungal creams.
You should see a nearby dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment.
