For about 2months now, i have relised that my vagina area has been very itchy, has a bad rash around it and also sore stratches. Does this mean i have a sexual infection and what can i take to make it better?

well,it wont get better by scratching!
When you have something wrong- it makes sense togo see a doctor doesn't it? I fyou let it go, as you have- it gets worse-- and sometimes that can be serious.  This is probably something minor or you'd probably be having pain by now- nonetheless,  you need to see someone to make sure that it is minor.

If you let health problems like this go- you could really develop something spectacular. At the least, you will be uncomfortable way longer than you should be...

Be responsible to yourself- not to mention others. Go to an Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic today- they are usually free- and they are confidential. There is NO reason not to go!!
