Step 1
Use a feminine powder. Most feminine burning and itching is caused by excessive sweating in the vaginal area. If you sweat in that area often throughout the day and don't try to treat it, the bacteria causing the burning and itching can go on to promote a healthy breeding ground for yeast infection. It is recommended that you ask your pharmacist about different types of feminine powders that can be used for feminine burning and itching before it gets worse.

Step 2
Consider the use of medicated creams. Burning and itching can also be caused by the dryness of the vagina. Most women experience vaginal dryness when they get older (typically after age 40). If dryness is ignored or not treated with the right medication, it can go on to cause an infection. It is recommended that you talk to your pharmacist about feminine creams that can help promote just the right about of moisture and a cream that can alleviate the burning sensation brought on by vaginal dryness.

Step 3
Talk to your doctor about prescription treatments. Sometimes over the counter feminine powder and cream products don't work on severe itching and burning. When over the counter products don't work to alleviate your feminine burning and itching within a few weeks, it is encouraged that you discontinue use and consult with your doctor about something more powerful. You should talk to your doctor about possible prescription treatments that can help your feminine burn and itch problems before they turn into something more profound.
