What Causes Constant Itching In The Vagina After IUD Placement?

Hello. It had problems with almost constant itching in the vaginal area since I had an iud inserted in October of 2015. Initially my family doctor thought is was am allergic reaction to a panty liner or body wash, and I treated it with a hydra cortisone powder combined with a clotrimaderm cream. It helped but the itch keeps coming back.
