Hello,
Itching around the vagina is likely to be due to some infection locally. Please use mild antiseptic and lukewarm water to wash the genital area. Do not douche or use strong solutions. If you have foul-smelling or greenish or yellowish discharge, please get a swab test done to exclude infection. Your sexual partner also may need to be tested and treated. As for the pills, if you do not see any period within a week you should get further help from a specialist. Menstrual disturbances are common with pills and the first 2-3 cycles need additional protection. Hope this helps.
