Weird rash

I'm only 17, and I have not been sexually active, but for as long as I can remember I have had this weird red rash on my scrotum that is slowly moving it's way up. Some days I barely notice it, but other days it can be quite irritating, itchy. I did some research on Psoriasis, and I am afraid that it might be Psoriasis since I have the symptoms of scaly peeling skin as well.

I'm really worried about this, so any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you seen your provider yet? Not sure how long this has been here but it could be an eczema or other dermatological issue or it could even be jock itch that has went untreated.  follow up on it. No reason to suspect herpes whatsoever.
