Hi.
If all you are experiencing is an itch and not other symptoms like increased urge to pass urine, burning sensation while urinating, increased frequency of urination, etc; then you should be treated for the itch (more likely to be of fungal origin), and not for a UTI. Please discuss your symptoms in detail with your doctor, and also request for a urine analysis to help reach a more accurate diagnosis.
Best wishes.
