Isn't this a repeat question? Yeast infection is likely, the main thing that causes vulvar itching and worse with antibiotics like amoxicillin. Get checked for resistant yeast or try one of the alternate treatments. If your gyn isn't familiar, ask for referral to a gyn who is, or to an infectious disease or genitourinary medicine expert.
