This sounds like the same problem I have. I was told it is contact dermatitis. The dermatologist said I was allergic to a soap or laundry detergent. I started using dove all natural soap and dreft baby laundry detergent on the underwear. Have you tried cortisone cream twice a day? That helped in about four days. Then I started using a moisturizer. I still don't feel normal down their but it's better. The online doctor said it was eczema, my dermatologist said it is related to it but not eczema.
My rash never itched and it would come and go with no reason.
Supposedly, don't know why, jock itch doesn't affect the scrotum, but I have had it their before. So I don't have a lot of confidence in  dermatologists.
They must have a dart board in the back room. They never do any tests, scrapings or actually look at anything.
