Hi,

Persistent vaginal itching despite medications 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 and avoid feminine products
2. Work up to eliminate other underlying disease
3. Urine routine, urine culture and vaginal swab must be done

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
