This is nothing to be ashamed of, tell your dad whats going on (so he wont get an unexpected bill in the mail) and go to the doctor.

In the mean time, Ive heard that certain types of cheap laundry detergent can cause such problems. You might also try gold bond medicated powder.

Personally, I have occational itching down there when I sweat a lot in the summer time. The powder helps me out a lot, but if your condition is very cronic, you should see a doctor.

Are you in sports? It could be something as simple as jock itch, which is a simple yeast infection the same as athletes foot.

You need to talk to your dad, remember he has a penis too, this could have happened to him. He may even know what it is.

If he does not you need to go to a doc to have it checked out. Make an appointment with a male doc, if you can, remember he has a penis too, and he most likely sees patients with them all day at work.

You don't want to ignore your reproductive health.
