Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Occasional itching feeling what you are experiencing in the vaginal area could be possibly due to yeast infection. Generally discharge is said to be healthy when it is more watery and is not associated with dryness, foul smelling and symptoms of itching.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply antifungal medication like Fluconazole as a single dose vaginal pessary.
3. Use vaginal pH balancing solution like 'v wash' regularly.
4. Take Tablet.Levoceterizine once a day to control itching.
5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoiding friction in the area.
6. Avoid sexual activities when you have such symptoms.
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
