Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination but it seems like you either yoy have some fungal infection or scabies.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Oral Ivermectin, topical permethrin
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for pictures.
From the review of pictures, it seems like you have got Nodular scabies.
Scabies is a contagious disease caused due to mite and it spreads among people who are in close physical contact and by use of common household articles.
Treatment is pretty straight foreword.
The key to successful treatment of scabies lies in treating everyone simultaneously in the family and others who are in close physical contact.
I would prescribe oral anti-parasitic drug like Ivermectin. Ivermectin 12mg tablet should be taken empty stomach with a gap of 15 days which will kill the parasite in very efficient way.
You should also apply permethrin 5% cream. Permethrin cream should be applied at night below neck onwards to cover whole body and should be rinsed off next day in morning with lukewarm water. Repeat application is usually not required.
Make sure everyone in your family and close physical contact should apply permethrin in similar way.
Next day onwards apply a mometasone with fusidic acid cream twice a day over lesions on genitals for 10-15 days.
Avoid sharing of clothing and toiletries and launder all you bedding and clothes in warm water.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
