Welcome to HCM.
Itching is most likely due to development of fungal infection.
It usually occurs due to perspiration,scratching,tight under garment,improper hygiene.
It also occurs after menopause due to local dryness.
You have to apply anti fungal cream like miconazole,clotrimazole.
Take levocetrizine to subside itching.
Wash that area with antiseptic liquid and make it dry then apply cream.
Avoid tight undergarment.
If it is increasing or recurrent then go for certain investigations like cbc,urine,fbs,ppbs to rule out any underlying condition.
Get examined by gynecologist for proper diagnosis and medical management.
