itching could be from many things. Needing to clean down there. You may also have a yeast infection. You can go to like walmart or a drug store and in the area where Pregnancy test and condoms are there is monistat yeast itching stuff try that if you haven't already.

Try getting an feminine anti-itch cream, that could help out... Then make sure to keep the area dry, not moist -- no tight clothes, no thongs... A cortizone cream could also help - but do not use for more than a few days... you may want to visit your doc & make sure you don't have yeast or an infection.

Yeast is the most common cause for vaginal itching.  If you're sure that all other tests are negative, then try a vinegar/water douche.  If you're not itching inside, then don't actually insert it.  Just rinse whatever areas are itchy with that mixture and see if it helps.  You should feel relief almost immediately.

Honey, go back to the doc.  Just because he gave you a clean bill of health a couple of months ago doesn't mean things haven't changed.  Get him to do cultures and check you for everything.

To temporarily relieve the itching, fill a water bottle with water and allow it partially freeze.  This will help calm things down.   Make sure, if your doctor does not find any infection/dermatological issues, that you push for a second opinion with someone who deals with vulvar/vaginal issues like this.

I got the same embarassing situation for many years - looking back I believe it was brought on having developed Candida due to an incredible amount of anti-biotics prescribed to me from early childhood to late teens (imbalances the bowel flora big time, so important to top up on the pro biotics afterwards and avoid sugars, yeast and other fermented foods). Also by being put on the contraceptive pill at a too early age that had a very heavy dosage of oestrogen has in my view also an effect. I remember that a lot of things in my body started to act in a funny way, and one of them was suddenly having a lot of discharge, a strong smell down there and itch on my pubic hair area. I also grew within on month from a fairly skinny person into a fullblown adult woman shape :-O. Over the last few decades I have had a lot of stress and I noticed that the itch gradually got worse. Also my ex-husband had herpes and jock-itch and I think that this, plus a run-down immune-system have been the reason why it's not been healing up. When I am under stress it always seems to be flaring up. I use homoepathic remedies and Aconite 30 works if it comes up suddenly. The following worked for me: making quite a warm sitzbath with baking soda, applecidervinegar. Use only aquaeus lotion, put a few drops of lavender aromatherapy in.  I also have found that spraying Burnshield, which is for burns, scalds and sunburn works beautifully. Don;t know if it is available outside New Zealand, but it has teatree in it.  Also drinking a solution with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda or a tablespoon applecidervinegar in water seems to be bringing relief. Stay away from sugars as this may aggravate the situation. I also found that having a congested gallbladder  is often underlying a lot of problems. Have a look at some websites that do gallbladder cleanses. It's a bit of a mishmash, but I found that certain things only work for a little while, so keep on looking to what works :-) It all helps, but in the meantime it can drive you nuts! I am relieved to find that I am not the only one on the planet with this condition :-)
