Hi,
I can understand your concern for vaginal itching along with cloudy discharge.
After reading your query it appears to be due to fungal infection called as candidiasis. You have not told us your age and any other problem.
Fungal infection of the skin is quite common due to infection and hygiene. It is aggravated by super-added infections and the further spread of infection to nearby of other parts.
To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene by taking two times bath, wearing cotton clothes and change of clothes two times. You can also use any good medicated antiperspirant powder. Stay away from hot and humid climate.
You can use clotrimazole cream or terbinafine or sertaconazole cream or pessary over the affected areas under medical supervision.
If fluconazole is not effective then I suggest you to take antifungal tablet by mouth such as itraconazole 100 mg daily for 15 days.
Take care.
