Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Itch over the mentioned area is usually fungal or bacterial infection. Applying peroxide will not subside the lesion, but only the itch for sometime.
I advise you to apply triple action ( contains antifungal, antibacterial and steroid) ointment over the area. For the itch antihistamine like levocetrizine can be taken.
Maintain proper hygiene of the area.


Let me know if you have any further questions.
