itching

Well I'm a young and healthy 22 year old with a slight problem. Every now and then i would get a very itchy skin. and would scratch . I have try alot of cream. thinking it was thrust or a yeast infection. nothing helping. I asked 3 doctors they it was nothing. i had a STD check up. nothing like that. So im thinking what could this be. My scratching would get that bad. that i would scratch and rip my skin.

i have had alot of that itch like problems too. i was told by doctor that it was because i had a bacterial infection.  kinda the opposite of a yeast infection and if you treat it like a yeast infection it makes it even worse. i have stopped taking baths with alot of different types of soaps.  and dont douche.  your body should be able to take care of itself. when we douche we throw off the normal levels of yeast and bacteria making one be more than the other causing an infection.     a course of flagyl helps.  it also could be caused by having a dry vagina.  that is also what the doctor says.   good luck....go to the doctor and get checked
