A cream of clotrimazole and mild steroid like candid B to be applied on perineum twice a day for a week for itching.

If you have already been treated for candidiasis then following causes can be the reason.
Mixed infection with other organisms. This will require a pelvic examination by a gynaecologist and infection screen and treatment with oral antibiotics like metrogyl 500 mg thrice a day for 5 days and aziththromycin 2gm single dose.
Lubricant use like lubic jelly during intercourse as lack of lubrication during intercourse can cause minor abrasion and itching.
