What Is The Treatment For Itchiness In The Penis?

My penis has been itching under the foreskin for the past week. I do not believe it is an STD because I have not been sexually active and I am confident that my hygiene is good. I have put hydrocortisone under the foreskin in an effort to relieve the itch.
