Looking into your narrative I can say you are most probably suffering from vaginal fungal infection. For this you have to take some antibiotic preferably cap doxycycline 100 mg twice daily after meals for at-least 5-7 days with tab cetrizine twice daily or tab Avil three times daily after meals for itching with tab rantac or cap omez twice daily empty stomach. You also have to take tab fluconazole 150 mg once daily in night for at-least 5-7 days or clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into your vagina one pessary per night for at-least 7 days. Last but not the least, you have to maintain the hygiene of your private part by regular washing with simple water or you can also use V-wash vaginal gel for local application.
