Itching that comes and goes with washing often points to a mild vaginal or vulval infection such as candidiasis, but it can also be irritation from soaps or tight clothing.
Next Steps
Please see a gynaecologist for a quick examination so the right treatment can be started for you.
Health Tips
Avoid scented washes or wipes in that area until you're seen, plain water is safest.
