hello,
Fortunately several treatments are available to relieve dryness and itching i advice you to keep the area clean.If you have yeast infection then you need to apply antifungal ointments and make the area moisturised.If there is discharge then oral antibiotic treatment is needed to completely recover from your symptoms.Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Emergency contraception is not likely to cause vaginal dryness. This problem of vaginal dryness & itching has many different pathologies as a cause. This may represent hormone deficiency, any infection, any form allergy, dermatoses or other pre neoplastic or neoplastic conditions. Best course of action is to see a Gynecologist, get yourself examined & follow her treatment plan.
Wish you good health.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having fungal infection on the part.
Due to itching and scratching of the part bacterial infection is likely.
Apply anti-fungal and antibiotic cream locally.
Take cetrizine tablet for itching.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
ok and take care.
