I've been dealing with some itching in my vulva and tried using Candid B, but it hasn't really helped. It's not because of any white discharge, but I noticed some redness there too. I've also got this itching between the skin that connects my anus and vagina. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

That could be bacterial or fungal vaginitis,visit your Gynaecologist for appropriate management.
