I'm having this really annoying itch every day around my varginity area, and it's so disturbing. Plus, I think it's turning into some kind of infection because now I'm also experiencing a urinal infection. What could be causing this, and how can I get it treated?

Consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment; in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, avoid scratching, and apply topical creams or ointments like clotrimazole or miconazole to alleviate itching and infection symptoms.
