Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is due to allergy to that spray. So it acts as irritant and produce dermatitis and vaginitis.

Also not other causes:
1. Vaginal Yeast Infection , Fungal infection
2. Vulvovaginitis
3. Trichomonas Infection
4. Urethritis
5. Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Advice for you;
1. Wash your vagina with this water twice a day for two to three days with warm water
2. Apply oil and liquid base lotion
3. Salt Bath- Wash your vagina with concentrated salt water whenever you feel the itch. This will give you great relief instantly and prevent further multiplication of bacteria.
4. Antibacterial/fungal talcs: apply candid powder
5. Keeping The Vagina Dry (Not wet, clean well)
6. Wear pure cotton Loose inner wear
7. Change the innerwear after work out
8. Avoid douching and sex until you get better
9. Ointment hydro cortisone if severe
10. Tablet cetrizine orally

Hope this may help you.
Take care and stay healthy.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
