Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sensation Near The Vagina

I got off the pill two months ago, after having been on it for around 7 years. As my period was getting over a few days ago, I started feeling very itchy in and around my vagina. There is no smell or unusual discharge, nor any pain. I have been using a vaginal wash to try to soothe it but it only helps temporarily. It almost feels like my vagina is allergic and reactive to any discharge. I do not have access to a gynaecologist for the next 2 weeks so would be grateful for any advice.
