Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptom you present could be caused by a STI, local skin infection by a bacterium or fungi, irritation by your panties.
I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and work-up.Work-ups like syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and urethral swap tests may be useful.Your treatment will be with respect to findings.I will recommend good genital hygiene.An anti-histamin like premalan may help control the itches while you you see your Doctor for an etiologic treatment.
Hope this will help you
Regards
