Vaginal itching, no discharge

Hello. I'm a sixteen year old and have been having extreme itching in my vagina.
I have never had sex, and I am on a three month birth control. It doesn't itch when I'm on my period, but after it does.
Some days it doesn't itch, some days it does.
Can anyone give me any advice?
I'm too embarassed to tell my mom or doctor because it is such a private topic. :(

Dont be embarrassed to tell your mother this is the time that you and your mother need to have these conversations, and your doctor.  You most likely have  yeast infection because of the BCP but there is no discharge so it could be an allergic reaction to something.

I used to get really itchy after my period was done and I suffered from Chronic yeast infections since I was 16 but I wasnt on birth control then.

Please talk to your doctor at least.

I've had that same problem too when I was younger. I know how you feel, and yes, we're ALL TIRED OF GIRLY PROBLEMS! But even if it's a private topic, you should always tell your mom. Although if telling your mom's a last resort, try washing your vulva (not the inside of your vagina or anything, just the outer skin) with hot water mixed with 1/4 cup of vinegar. Though it might be the birth control pills....

Sounds like a yeast infection probably because of the birth control pills, you should ask your dr to switch your pills to something else. I know exactly how you feel that's how my girly problems happend! If you don't do something about it now it will only get worse
