Brief Answer:
Kindly provide details and pictures

Detailed Answer:
hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Since you have itching over the genitals since two months, i suspect that it might be either a fungal infection or a chronic dermatitis.
I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition to be sure of the diagnosis.
It would be helpful if you can click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page.
Also tell if there is any redness in the affected area.
Have you been applying any oil over the groin area.

I am sure I will be able to help you more once you provide me the above details and the pictures.
