I'm experiencing a lot of itching between my hips and vagina, and sometimes it gets really intense. But after scratching, it becomes painful. I'm really worried about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

Sounds like you may be experiencing a yeast infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks to help relieve the itching and pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing.

I have pigmented skin and I'm really looking for a good oil-free pigmentation cream to use at night. Do you have any suggestions?

For pigmented skin, consider using oil-free, non-comedogenic night creams containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, licorice extract, or kojic acid, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, or La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, but always patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
