The excessive itching is probably due to a yeast infection. Using soaps in the vaginal area is not good. It washes away your bodies natural ability to keep your hormones balanced. Also taking antibiotics can cause yeast infection. Eating yogurt will help to keep you balanced or a prescription drug.
