I've had these black spots near my private area for about a month now, and they itch quite a bit. What could be causing this, and how can I get rid of them?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.
