Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Itching of the vagina is almost always due to infection. I recommend that you appraoch your doctor for a local exam and culture of the vaginal swab.
The most common prescribed medicine is ciplox tablets twice a day for 5 days along with clotrimazole cream to be applied three times daily.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
