    If you are experiencing mild itching in or around your vagina without any other concerning or unusual symptoms, you can try a simple home remedy to see if it helps. If, however, you have other unusual symptoms or still itch after one week, you should see your healthcare provider for an evaluation. A warm bath with baking soda has been shown to help relieve itching and soothe irritated skin. Colloidal oatmeal powder may lower skin inflammation and help stop vaginal itching and irritation quickly. Colloidal oatmeal is made by grinding the entire oat grain into a fine powder so that none of its skin-soothing benefits are lost. Boric acid may treat yeast infections when applied topically or as a vaginal suppository (inserted into the vagina). Medications such as antifungals may be prescribed if necessary. Antifungal creams are readily available for treating yeast infections. Antifungal medications for vaginal yeast infection can be found as creams, ointments, tablets, and suppositories.
