Were you treated for the cocci? Strep may colonize vagina - usually it is only an issue at the time of birth as it can be transmitted to the neonate. May be chronic or recurrent cervicitis-infection or psoriasis/inflammatory. Culture for strep / STDs , get PAP , f/u/w/ gyn https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15360-cervicitis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1599269/

I think you are using the term "cervix" inappropriately, and your rash and itching may be due to psoriasis, for which treatment is available. I advise that you be examined by a trusted dermatologist. If psoriasis not the cause, a trusted gynecologist should provide an answer, since psoriasis does not "come and go."
