Hi Lizzie,

First of all, good for you for being on the pill AND using condoms!!!!

It's still important for you and your partners to be screened for STD's even if you use condoms every time. The itching could be an allerfy to the condom, lubricant, spermicide, or it could be BV, a yeast infection, or an STD.

It is a good idea to have this checked out by your doctor or Planned Parenthood.

Take care,
