Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

I would keep a possibility of candidal vulvitis. Candidal infection of the vulvovaginal area can cause itching, redness and discharge.

If I was your treating doctor I would have advised you to use a topical OTC antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for a week.

An oral antifungal 150mg single dose can also be taken for faster relief.

An OTC antihistamine , cetrizine once daily would help in symptomatic control of itching.

take care
