Need to resist irrit: Likely the skin in that region is extremely irritated. Skin can heal itself. But it requires the source of irritation to be removed first. If it is infected than antibacterial and antifungal treatments work. But if it is irritated due to trauma (scratching), then the trauma must stop. This will take a lot of will power to resist scratching. Also try using boxers and trimming (not shave) hair.
