What Causes Extreme Itching In The Vaginal Region?

Question: What do I take for extreme itching (for several weeks now) in the vaginal area? I've tried prescribed creams, taken diflucan 1 x. It has spread to entire area
Brief Answer:
Tinea cruris likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
It seems that you have a fungal infection known as tinea cruris in the vaginal area.
It leads to extreme itching in the perineal and vaginal area and is treated by oral Fluconazole(not cream) and local application of Terbinafine ointment.
You can upload the photograph of the lesion for a better diagnosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
