Hi,
Vaginal Itching might be due to:
- Irritants in the chemicals used in cosmetics
- Skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Yeast infection
- Stress
- STD's etc.
I advise you to:
1. Maintain good hygiene & Avoid feminine products
2. Take Antibiotics for a week
3. Urine routine and culture, vaginal swab if needed
4. Sitz bath
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
