What is this itch in the nether region?

(NSFW) For the past month, I've had a lot of itching... down there. Haven't wanted to see a doctor because of COVID-19. Details to follow.

A month or two ago, I started noticing increased itching of my pubic hair. I live in a tropical country, and I mostly chalked it up to the heat and humidity. I got in the bad habit of scratching...and pulling out hairs. Perhaps that's a particularly bad thing since I have very kinky hair. So, maybe I just exacerbated jock itch right?

At the same time, I am a gay man with a number of partners. So I became concerned that maybe it's more than just jock itch--something like pubic lice or herpes. Even though I couldn't see any lice (my eyesight is bad), yesterday, I decided to preemptively use an anti-lice shampoo just in case.

Today, I realized that I could use my smart phone to get a high res closer look at the issue. Nothing that would suggest lice from what I could tell. (Don't know if they could have already been killed off, if formerly present). Everything looked somewhat normal, aside from the fact that the base of my hairs seemed to be particular white or oil filled. Come to think of it, the skin in that area general seemed kinda oily.

I have some topical steroid I could apply, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.
