Scratching that keeps needing to happen several times a day, even without discharge or odour, often points to dryness or irritation rather than infection at your age, especially with your periods also becoming irregular.

Next Steps

Please get a gynaecologist to examine the area directly rather than continuing to self-manage with petroleum jelly.

Health Tips

Since you already manage seasonal allergies, mention that history so nothing you're prescribed conflicts with it.
