It would help if you can tell us what you've been diagnosed with. Although we can't give any medical advice.

Hi @Deb5368 I hope you're doing ok today? Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Are you seeing your GP about this?

I have lichen sclerosis for 13yrs, not nice thing to have esp in flare ups.
But avoid using bath oils,gels, scented stuff, use sanitary towel were possible.
Make sure the area is kept clean and free from urine were possible.
In flare I used steroids cream reluctantly, but U can use aqueous, vaseline to stop dryness which makes itchy unbearable
It can be managed it's just learning what works best for you
Good luck
