What can this be?!

I’d appreciate any help or advice.

On Christmas Eve I noticed I was slightly itchy down there, this followed with finding out my 4yr old has worms on Christmas Day! My itchiness was a lot worse on Christmas Day evening so I treated us both with ovex. His cleared within a couple of days and he’s fine. I did all the relevant cleaning/washing. My itching improved slightly but still carried on so I thought maybe thrush, I have done a pessary and used the tablet and cream but now I am still itching.
I have been diagnosed years and years ago with HSV1 genital but not had an outbreak since that first year but I remember when I first got it I thought it was thrush. I have been looking daily and don’t think I can see any blisters. I have been having salt baths for the last couple of days and using sudocrem but this itch is still there. To make matters worse I’ve come on now so the wiping and pads etc seem to irritate me more.

has anyone any idea??

Best to see your GP?

You said you did all the washing / cleaning etc but have you done the second dose of ovex to catch anything that hatched from the eggs? You are meant to do two doses and need to treat everyone in the household, not just the symptomatic people.
