Vaginal itching: Breastfeeding is associated with lower estrogen levels and this results in a less than healthy vagina and vulva. Sometimes a vaginal cream is helpful. You need to be seen by your doctor.

Vaginal itchiness: Thank you for your question. Vaginal itchiness and pimples after giving birth may be caused by many things. There are forms of inflammatory conditions of the skin that could cause a rash as well as responses to external/internal sources such as allergies or otherwise. Having an examination performed by a qualified medical practitioner would be helpful in diagnosis and treatment
