Try monistat if not better go to ob/ gyn
If you are having an odor or discharge, you should talk to your health care provider. They may even be able to help you with a phone or video visit.
Hello,
Well, hopefully, by now, the itch has improved. If not, you may have a vaginal yeast infection. At the drug story, they sell many products for yeast infections. I would recommend Monistat (also called miconazole).
I hope that this helps.
Warmest Regards,

Treatment depends on the underlying cause. At best, have a physician examine you and make appropriate treatment recommendations.
Most common vaginal itch is due to moniliasis. Pelvic exam and culture of the secretion are mandatory for diagnosis. Without it, try a bath with sodium bicarbonate 1 tablespoon in the bath twice a week. At night, leave the area aerated. Have cotton underwear panties. If symptoms persist, please see a doctor.
Try canesten cream
Aquafor is oil-based (vaseline) and usually does not help the symptom you have which can be due to contact irritation from soap/detergent/clothing or possible a yeast infection.
Try using a mild hydrocortisone cream such as Vagisil or topical antifungal such as monistat-derm or Femiclear (organic). If symptoms persist for more than a week then see your Pediatrician or Gynecologist.

To treat a vaginal itch depends on if the itch is inside the vagina or outside on the vulvar skin. It could range from a yeast infection to an allergic reaction. Your safest bet is to have it looked at by a medical practioner. Meanwhile you can try this: If it is accompanied by a white thick discharge it could be yeast and an over the counter anti fungal cream designed for this region would work. If it is something that happened after shaving cortisone cream would work for that.
