Hi,
If taken for 7 days, stop Metronidazole. If there is only itching, wash regularly with warm water, do not wear tight clothes, avoid using clothes which irritates your skin. Apply some Clotrimazole cream. If itching persists even after this, consult your gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
