Yeast: You may have a yeast or fungal infection. Regular soaps do not seem very effective. You need a medicated soap, or better use a medicated powder such as gold bond after shower and cleansing the area thoroughly. Sometimes topical antifungal agents may be necessary, see your dr if this condition persists.
