Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

This vaginal dryness or itching could be due to dermatitis of vulva or vulvovaginitis or thrush or vulvovaginal candidiasis.

The brown blood or blood clot could be due to this pill which you are already taking but the main problem is infection.

You can go for clinical examination by gynecologist and swab tests for microscopic examination.

You should take treatment like
1) moisturizer creams or lubricants KY gelly,
2) use cool compression,
3) wash genital regularly using sorbolene cream instead of soap.
4) Avoid using talcum powder,irritant soaps,bath oils etc.

If problem persists then consult gynecologist or skin specialist for bleeding and itching of vaginal area respectively.

Regards,
