Itching of external area ?

Ive read some of the answers on this, but it doesnt seem to match what Im looking for...here goes:

I've noticed that I get itchy down there, and it happened after my last period in novermber. I think its becuase I changed my feminine wipes from the sensitive brand to something else..and the itch lasted for about 2 weeks. Applied Polysporin on it and it seemed to go away, but it seems to be kinda back, but this time round its not my periods, but I noticed it after intercourse. Now Im confused, and worried...The itch is on the outside, in the space between the vag*na and the cl*toris..Can someone maybe help me with this..

thanks

Update:

Note: NO DISCHARGE of any kind..everyting is normal, except the area is red and itchy...

    During your period hormone changes can make you get a yeast infection that normally last a week or two. Sometime you don't have to get a discharge to get it. I had thrush before and had no discharge what so ever.

    If your getting the itching a good bit go back to your doctor just to make sure its nothing more serious.

    Good Luck

    The area you are describing sounds like the opening of the urethra ("pee hole"!). Perhaps it is a urinary tract infection? Does it sting to pee? Polysporin is probably not a good idea on there. It is an antibiotic ointment, and that area needs a lot of good bacteria, otherwise you could end up with a yeast infection. Also, is your partner washing his member before you have sex? I know someone who got an infection from sex and the nurse told her to make sure her husband washed himself well before intercourse. (How embarassing... haha!) Hope that helps!

    The redness and itching makes me think one of two things: either an allergic reaction or a yeast infection. See a doctor who can properly diagnose you.
