Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms could be due to fungal infection, contact dermatitis, and urethritis. Poor hygiene can aggravate the symptoms. I would suggest to consult primary care physician and undergo examination, urine tests and urethral swab test if needed.
Following treatment will help you:
1. Oral fluconazole
2. Apply monistat ointment
3. Tablet levocetrizine at the bed time
If urethritis is found then proper antibiotic will help. Wear pure cotton loose inner and change it after workout. Keep the area clean and dry. Do not use chemical soap and cosmetics. Drink plenty of water and fruit juice, and eat healthy diet.
Hope this may help you. Consult further if follow up is needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
