Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

We have to know the reason for the itching and burning of your genitals. The nature of burning (Whether it is during after urination or persists throughout) and itching.
Investigations from urine and discharge (if any) will also be helpful to fix the cause of itching and burning. Herpes also precedes with itching and burning, Chlamydia would likely have some burning during urination etc. Monistat will be useful only in case of yeast infection. Not for other infections.
So consult your Dermatologist and get his/her guidance in this regards.
Get well soon.
