Embarassing question,

I will try to be as delicate as possible in asking this question. I'm a long term post op (4+ years) who has been having itching in the groin, mons and all over the external female parts for a couple years. Sometimes I scratch myself raw. I've been to embarrassed to see a doc, but did finally go around 6-9 months ago. I was giving a prescription for a powder and a cream. No help. So I continue itching. Usually it is mostly in the morning when I get up to change clothes and upon changing at night. Although I do scratch like crazy usually when going to the bathroom. Seems like most times it is when my clothes are going on or comming off. It does'nt seem like it came be cloth detergent related as I dont itch anywhere else but the privates! One thing that helps is keeping things cut short there. Hope that is'nt to graphic. My mons (area above the private but below the stomach?) is VERY VERY VERY huge. This is partly due to other surgeries and catheters in the past. Anyway, I'm thinking it is because air cannot get to the areas... where the itching is. So it is probally the same kind of thing with the guys and jock icth. Anyway this is driving me nuts. (Excuse the pun). It was'nt intended. I don't know what I"m going to do anymore. Or if this makes me a canidate for plastic surgery? I have Blue Choice Option/Medicaid. (NYS) I do need a full body lift. However I doubt the insurance will pay. But perhaps with this I'd qualify for something that will relieve this problem? Thanks for any info.
