Dear doctor, i'm mukkesh. I'm a male. I live in paris, france. I'm 25 years old. I have an itch problem all over body particularly on chest, stomach, ankle and most particularly on the private area (and the area surrounding the private part). This problem started before 2 weeks. It was mild before but now it's itching too much and disturbing my sleep. Itching is mild in all other body parts except private area. Particularly in my penis, big rash has formed on the skin (not on the tip). My recent change in activities are 1. Started taking bath in a warm water (sleeping in bath tub for 45 minutes to 1 hour) 2. Recently I went to amsterdam. There, I had sex (protected sex). These two are my recent activities before I got this itching. Some of the itched area nearprivate part became like a pimple (big pimple like) and the other today parts left small pimple. What do I need to do in this case. I'm waiting for your answer egaerly. Thank you in advance.

Wash the skin two to three times a day. Keep the skin dry. Avoid excess groin skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your groin, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated groin area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly. Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own. Another option is to apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and coconut oil on the affected skin. Like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol can help kill off the fungus that's on the surface level of the skin. You can apply it directly to the affected area listerine: it has antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties, which help treat itch.
