Hello and welcome to HCM,
Itching in clitoris and rectal area is suggestive of some infection or some primary skin lesion.
Fungal infection is commonly associated with itching.
Since, you have visited many doctors without any clear diagnosis, I suggest you to go for certain investigations.
If the itching is associated with discharge, I suggest you to get micro-biological examination of the discharge as well as urine examination to look for any evidence of infection.
If there is no discharge, you can go for urine examination.
A clinical assessment cannot be over-emphasized, thus you need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment.
If all there is no evidence of infection, then probably the itching is due to primary skin lesion.
Thus, consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical examination, investigations, diagnosis and thus management.
No home remedy can be suggested before making a diagnosis.

Thanks and take care
