A friend of mine emailed me and what the article said about Pagets Disease sounds just like what you're describing.  I DO hope you've been to a doctor.  And if necessary, tell her/him to do cancer screen.

Extramammary Pagets disease is an uncommon cancer characterised by a chronic eczema-like rash of the skin around the anogenital regions of males and females. Under the microscope it looks very similar to the more common type of mammary Pagets disease that occurs on the breast. Extramammary Paget's disease most commonly occurs in women aged between 50-60 years.


This is what I found on the internet... www.pagetsdisease.com

Hopefully you will find something that will help you..
Have you gone to the doctor??
I would go asap...
