Do not use any separate wash. These things are marketed so much that ladies tend to overuse this product.
Normal soap whole having a bath is sufficient for keeping intimate area clean. Additionally keeping it dry ( from sweat and discharge) is important. Consult a gynaecologist for the examination and medicines.
