It looks like genital scabies.
It is caused by a mite known as Sarcoptes scabei.
It normally leads to papules over genitals and inter digital spaces and the itching is more severe at night.
Permethrin 5% cream is used once a week for 2 weeks for the treatment.
It is a contagious disease and can spread by contact.
