I have itching in my vagina and labia that comes and goes, what can I do to make it stop?

Question

For the past few months, following a urinary infection, I have had itching in my lips and vagina. No particular odor, no abnormal discharge either, I apply clotrimaderme to the place as soon as itching but it relieves for a short time, there are periods of 1-2 weeks that I have nothing but it starts again, during my period nothing and the week after my period nothing either after the itching starts again and the itching is constant when it is there

Good morning, ma'am, Do you have any other symptoms such as unusual discharge or odor? Is it constant or does it come and go? Have you had these symptoms in the past? Have you tried anything about it? Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification! I suggest first and foremost applying Replens moisturizer, available without a prescription, as often as needed. Avoid soaps, cleansers and douches as they can make the situation worse. Plain water for hygiene should suffice. I also suggest cleaning the area with a moist, unscented wipe or wet washcloth. I believe that activities that may involve this type of injury should be avoided until it is completely healed. For intercourse, use a water-based lubricant like KY before and during intercourse as needed. If it persists or worsens, a doctor should be consulted as a precaution. I will be available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
