What Causes Itching And Burning Sensation Around Vagina?

I don't know what's wrong with me. About 2 days ago the region where my vagina is started to get really itchy and I looked at it in a morror and it was very red. It's still this way but isn't consistantly itchy. It'll be fine for a while then all of a sudden won't stop itching and burning. The vagus il anti itch wipes seem to soothe it for a minute then it will go back to itching and burning. It reminds me almost of when you get a dry patch of skin on your arm because when I showered last night and held a warm rag on the area the sensation went away

Your symptoms are mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection. For which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part either by regular washing with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel.
