It's shotgun therapy, but it won't hurt you.

These are the two areas I'd investigate.

If the problem turns out to be the former, get more air down there and don't apply anything that will moisturize -- you might consider shaving everything clean. BTW, if you have fungus growing in your nether regions, you might stay off the bike for a bit until you heal.
