Sensitive question, but i need your help
Hi everyone!!
This may be a silly question, and i feel weird for asking. However, there is such a thing as improper touching and from what i hear it is a mortal sin, (confessional material) which i didnt find out from last night from my Confessor. Now here is the question,  is scratching your privates improper touching as well? not to get aroused or to be sexually deviant, but i mean a legitamiate itch. Is that a mortal sin as well, sorry if the question sounds silly or perverted, i dont intend it to be, and it is a legimate question i have,  one that i need an answer for. i tried to keep the question as ungraphic as possible, so please i need your help!! from everyone!!!!

Scratching an itch is not a sin. Just be discreet, don't scratch in ridiculous places (like public) and I think you'll be fine.

No because it is being done to relieve a form of irritation that can be remedied without the cause of evil.

No, it is not a sin, any more than washing in that area is. God knows your heart and your intention.
