Vagina itching?

His ladies this might me tmi but I really would like some advice. I got my period about 2 days ago and ever since then my vagina has been itching, not the outside but right around the opening of the vagina! I have been trying to avoid rubbing it to calm the itching but when I’m showering I just can’t help it. I’m pretty sure I irritated the area now because when I pee and it hits the spot that itches it burns and stings. This itching sensation has happened to me maybe two other times while I was on my period and I don’t know what it could be. Help please!!
