Dear sir/madam, I am suffering from itching problem in my private parts side area but not regularly. I use itch guard in this case. But when I use, it disappears but again after 15 - 20 days, I feel itching & I used to itch in that area as a result of this it become sometimes red & gives severe irritation. Also due to regular itching problem & regular use of itch guard, the skin becomes dark in that area. Could please suggest any treatment or medicine to make skin & my private parts light & fare?
