I'm having some itching near my private area and I used Ring Guard skin cream which helped, but the itching came back. I'm wondering what could be causing this and what I can do to stop it for good. Is there something else I should be using or trying? Its really uncomfortable and Im worried about whats happening down there. Any advice?

The recurring itching near your private area may indicate an underlying fungal or bacterial infection; consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and avoid scratching the area to prevent further irritation
