Hi
Welcome to HCM

The description you have provided seems that you are having a fungal infection which have caused an adverse allergic reaction that is causing skin discoloration and rash. The itch symptom is also very common feature of the fungal infection. There might be chances of skin irritation due to some other reasons but the most common one is the yeast infection. Lubrication the area doesn't work.

It is recommended to visit a doctor proper examination and evaluation. Antifungal cream is advised with name of myocitracin.

Thanks
Regards

Welcome to Health Care Magic

It could be fungus infection / allergy / intestinal worm infestation

See your GP / Dermatologist will be ideal
Anti-histamine / Anti-helminthic ./ anti-fungal can help in the mean time...

Take care
