Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

You had not mentioned for what STI you had been treated.
For vaginal discharge it is better to examine the genitals with speculum to ascertain whether it is a cervical discharge or vaginal discharge, macroscopic nature of discharge and the condition of the vagina and cervix.
Apart from that the discharge has to be taken in 3 smears ( wet saline, KOH, dry stained) and have to be examined for the presence of Yeast, Trichomonas, Gonococcus and Clue cells (Bacterial vaginitis). As per the outcome the treatment has to be planned.
Eurax cream has anti-itching property,but not indicated to use for vaginal itching. It is indicated only for external skin itching only.
