Ive been dealing with vaginal itching and burning for a while now, and Im currently using Itch Guard for relief, but it only helps for a short time. The discomfort keeps coming back. What could be causing this, and what else can I do to manage it?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
