 I strongly think that it may be a Fungal Infection.
Itching, flaking and redness are signs of a fungal infection, or more commonly known as "jock-itch".
Treatment creams can cost no more than $10, and you can buy them at all drug stores.
I had similar problems when I was younger.
I recommend using the cream thoroughly, and applying it once in the morning and once before bed.
Even once it clears, continue to apply it until you use all of it, otherwise it will return.
Wash all bed sheets and clothes, and try not to wear damp underwear or clothing.
Good luck!

 It may be a bacterial infection. Ask your doctor to check for bacteria...

 I know i get this problem after shaving - sensitive area and everything.
Id suggest going to see your doctor and telling him/her about the problem.
Could it be your underwear - you could be extra sensitive in this area and this could be irritating it.
Your tests came back clear so it seems a little unusual that your husband has to wash straight after sex, i think you should go and talk to your doctor - you shouldnt be embarassed about it either, they will have a better idea of what this could be down to.
