Brief Answer:
Needs examination

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Vaginal itching and burning is likely due to infection.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally and get appropriate treatment.
In the meantime, you can take candid vaginal pessary and cetrizine tablets once a day for relief.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
