You may want to see a doctor. Being in the area that it is in, OTC ointments/creams might be too rough on a sensitive area. My husband had to have steroid injections to help get rid of poison oak. This sounds very painful and I wouldn't want to trade places with you. I hope it's an interesting story. :D
Good luck.

Most poison ivy, oak, or sumac rashes can be treated successfully at home. Initial treatment consists of washing the area with water immediately after contact with the plants. To relieve symptoms, use wet compresses and take cool baths. Nonprescription antihistamines and calamine lotion also may help relieve symptoms. Moderate or severe cases of the rash may require treatment by a health professional, who may prescribe corticosteroid pills, creams, or ointments

Well you could use calamine lotion on those jewels. But maybe you should see a doctor so you can get some medicine to apply to it and an internal med to reduce the itching. I guess you could take some Benedryl to help with the itching.

Many people swear by a product called Zanfel. For a few, it doesn't seem to work that well.
If that doesn't work, you will need to see a doctor. This may be just profoundly uncomfortable, but for a few people this is a serious medical problem that requires treatment.
There are many tips and suggestions on this site:
