Sometimes, a one-time irritant can set up a chronic problem of itching, burning and scratching that prevents the vagina from healing. Add another problem on top of that—let's say, a low-grade yeast infection—and you can feel pretty miserable. If you have cleared any known infection and still have chronic redness and itching, your doctor may recommend a topical anti-inflammatory agent (like a corticosteroid cream). Sometimes halting the cycle of irritation and pain will cure your problem once and for all. What you don't want to do is scratch and irritate the area constantly, as you can predispose yourself to much more serious problems, including malignancies.
