have very bad vaginal itching and dryness , it drives me crazy I tried everything to get rid of it like washing my vulva ( iam a virgin ) with saline , using betadine ointment , using vagisil cream , hydrocortisone cream .
But all the above ways give temporary relief , I forgot to mention that I got this bad itching after I started shaving my private area by veet cream and the itching gets worst when the hair starts to grow again
Please help me , this itching turns my life into hell

Good heavens, give your pubic region a break!
Many people itch after hair removal (and you're not shaving, Veet is a dipilatory, which is a chemical... I only hope you are using one that is okay for the genital region).
I would call your doctor's office and ask what they recommend. I think you're just going to have to suck it up, though. Maybe a combination aloe/lidocaine lotion would work (like for sunburns). But check w/ doctor because that's a very sensitive region.
Perhaps you will never be able to shave down there. Some people can't. I've heard that baby oil applied immediately after removing the hair has the best chance of a good (and least ichy) result. But that would be for next time. I think a nice, neat trim, and a recent shower, should be all that's needed.

Shaving your vaginal area is going to make you itch no matter what you do.
Maybe you have had an allergic reaction to the Veet?
Have you tried taking Benadryl? It works for allergic reactions and it might help with the itch...be warned, it will also make you drowsy.
Have you tried talking to a parent about all of this? Or are you over 18?
If none of these things work, then you may need to go to an ob-gyn.

Anyone who shaves that area, even guys will tell you that when the hair grows back it itches like hell. Keep it shaved is the best advice, it also sounds as if you might be allergic to Neet. It says right on the product to do a patch test first to see if you have a reaction to it. Sounds to me like you might be having that reaction. You could just shave using shaving cream or use another brand such as Nair. Good Luck.

it sounds like you might have a yeast infection. if you truly are using all the things you stated, it's possible to have vaginal itching and dryness.
also, you mentioned that you shave. that might cause irritation in the pubic hair region, but not inside the vagina.
i would strongly advise you to stop treating yourself and see a health professional.
