There are some self help remedies before you may see
the dermatologist. Over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream is safe short term for itchiness.
A blow dryer on the unheated setting after your shower
for comfortable thoroughly drying the area. No hot showers.
Try mild soap like Dove or there are zinc pyrithione bars and washes.
Zeasorb AF powder is gentle and helpful if yeast or fungus is developing. Caldesene zinc powder is another choice.
Loose fitting wicking non cotton underwear of course.
Keep your room cool at night with light sheets and
optional shorts for sleep.

Thanks for the tips, but I've tried most of these. My soap has always been Dove, I always wear loose-fitting clothes as I do have pretty sensitive skin, my room is almost always cool, a blow dryer helps for a while but a couple of hours later it's back to being damp. I'll check out some 1% hydrocortisone cream though.
