What Could Be The Reasons For Having Itching On The Right Side Of Lower Abdominal While Having HPV And On Birth Control?

I have itching on the right side of my lower abdominals on the inner side of my pelvis bone. It has been itching randomly for awhile but there is nothing on my skin and it feels like it is underneath. What could this be? I was diagnosed with HPV and I am currently on birth control pills and Adderall.

hi 
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum 

You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis.
You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry .
Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region .
Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating. 
You need to use an antifungal agent like  Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day. 
Also you might need to take oral antifungals .
And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines . 

Hope it helps,
