Suggest Treatment For Jock Itch On The Scrotum

I always have itchy scrotal immediately after sex with my fiancée. I always wash down after that and it becomes better. But it normally continuous after a day or two or when I have sex with her. At first I thought it was jock itch but now i believe am mistaken. Please I need help to cure myself without going to the clinic.
