Wash with antibacterial soap, preferably twice a day or more, and dry yourself with a clean towel. Change your undies every time you do, and always put on underwear before you come in contact with anything else (sheets, a chair, etc.). Don't shave that area. Don't wear tight-fitting/restrictive clothes if possible; wear something loose that breathes instead.

It can take awhile to get rid of it completely without antibiotics or topical cream or whathaveyou, but if you keep things clean it should go away on its own eventually.

If it's coming and going on a fairly regular basis, you might also look at what you do differently in the few days before it flares up.
