Hi there.
A more detailed in-depth evaluation of your problem will be needed for a clear management and treatment pathway.
A detailed medical, personal, sexual, stressors and family history plus some good quality digital pics are required unless happy to come across a clinic in person if hailing from Bangalore.
It can be easily handled and there is nothing to stress or worry about.
An Online Consultation is your best possible recourse for a clear and precise prescription given it is in a sensitive area.
Good luck and Godspeed 🙏
Health Tips
Keep nails clipped to avoid any injury to the area and further darkening.
Use of gentle cleanser as opposed to 🧼 that may be drying.
Avoid excessive washing/douching post coitus.
Consider a sedative antihistamine for the evenings x 10 days to allay the night itch.
