Postcoital Itch: this could be an infection such as e feast infection. It could be an allergic reaction to latex if a condom was used. Certainly if this persists or is accompanied by discharge, discomfort or redness you should be evaluated.

It depends...: It all depends on what other symptoms you are having. If you are just having itching and if accompanied by vaginal discharge it is most likely a yeast infection which could be treated with over the counter clotrimazole. However, if you have blisters, sores and it burns then it could be herpes. If you are not sure and symptoms persist see a GYN provider for an exam and diagnosis.
