Brief Answer:
Vaginal candidiasis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
If you have vaginal itching then it is likely yeast infection and hence steroids should not be used , it would rather flare up the itching.
You should rather use Oint. Clotrimazole or Miconazole 1% cream locally thrice a day fr 5-7 days. This should help you relieve your itching. You may get it prescribed by your physician.
