rash on scrotum only

About a month ago i noticed some persistent itching on my scrotum on both sides.. i scratched them a lot. the next day i have what appears to be a red flat rash on both sides of my scrotum. I am 27 years old and married. The itching has been worse in the evening and early morning. I am typically good with hygiene i.e showering daily until recently since my wife and i have a newborn daughter and time has not allowed for much time other than to take care of her. the rash has never produced anything "pimple like" or anything of the sort. just inflamed and red in patches. I have tried some triple antibiotic ointment to see if it did anything, it didnt do much at all. the itching has been less and less but the rash is still there. The thighs are not effected nor is the shaft or head of the penis. no painful urination at all. any thoughts on what this could be? it has been there like i said for almost a month. ive been taking my temperature and its been consistently between 98-99F. Should I be concerned with an STD? my wife and I are monogamous and havent had sexual intercourse in some time seems how our daughter takes up most of the time.  any response would be appreciated thanks I have been applying clotrimzole 1% USP and its improved a lot. any thoughts?

Being that it does not sound std related, the only advice to give you is to see a dermatologist.
