Using v wash is the reason your having itching and burning sensation in the vulva
Do a vaginal pH test and find out if it is acidic if not you need to take pre probiotic which will help you to restore the normal bacteria which you have washed out
Once the organisms are restored you will not have burning or itching sensation

Regular use of V wash is counter productive because it destroys so many bacteria which helps in maintaining vaginal pH. It is better to use plain water or a mild soap.
Next Steps
You may consult a Gynaecologist , especially physical consultation because some patients may need examination.
