Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are having an itchy rash on your vagina.

From your history, I would consider the possibilities of vulval candidiasis.

It is an yeast infection which is common in women of the child bearing age group.

You could apply a cream containing 1% Clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks.

A single dose of 150 mg fluconazole tablet will also help. This has to be prescribed by your doctor.

You could also take an antihistamine like benadryl at bedtime for 2 weeks to get relief from itching.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
