Hello,
I have reviewed your query in detail and here is my advice.
Itchy rashes and sores in the genital area is possibly due to Herpes simplex infection.
Physical examination can confirm the diagnosis.
During acute symptoms or if you develop recurrent symptoms, anti-viral medications like Acyclovir/valacyclovir need to be taken.
To relieve the itching apply cold compress to the area.
Keep the area clean and dry.
Cetrizine (available over the counter, the recommended dose is 10 mg once daily) can be taken.
Wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments.
Use condom while engaging in sex.
If herpes is present, it is best to get tested for other sexually transmitted infection as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
