Hello,
It can be due to an allergic reaction to the material of condom or spermicidal if it contained spermicidal. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort. For the itching give antihisaminics like Benadryl or Claritin

If the irritation persists then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist as soon as possible.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
