As i told, there is itching but no visible bumps or rashes.

Brief Answer:
Itching itself could be sign of underlying inflammation.

Detailed Answer:
We understand your concern sir. Itching itself could be a sign of underlying inflammation due to possible infection. Tinea infection may not cause any visible rash to begin with. Topical steroids including beclomethasone are commonly used to relieve the pubic itch but that may be harmful to use without proper examination. Take care.
