Hello, I have got dry skin and itching at private part near to penis, its increasing and I feel itching always which I control but sometimes it becomes unbearable. Whom do I contact and what do I do? Please guide and advise.

Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.

This looks like fungal infection or dermatitis, which is common in the groin area due to sweat and friction. It won’t improve on its own and needs proper treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a Cosmetologist/dermatologist (they commonly treat this issue, nothing to be shy about).
Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid tight clothing.
Do not use steroid creams on your own, as they worsen the problem.
With the right antifungal/medicated treatment, it usually improves quickly.
