    It looks irritated. You should probably talk to your doctor. In the meantime, body wash can be harsh and you should avoid anything scented. I would recommend Dove soap unscented for sensitive skin. You should not have to moisturize down there. 

    Your doctor may want to check for STIs if you are sexually active as well as any latex allergy if using condoms.
