A week of itching, dryness, and burning with urination together often points to a vaginal or urinary infection, not simple irritation from travel.
Next Steps
Please stop the coconut oil and other home remedies, and see a gynaecologist soon for an examination and the right treatment.
Health Tips
Burning while urinating alongside vaginal symptoms needs to be checked promptly rather than managed at home.

You need to consult and explain clearly where exactly you are having itching. Probably you have fungal vulvitis.
It can worsen if you keep on itching continuously.
