According to ayurveda, the wetness in mucosal linings becomes more wet due to the foods which are having the tendency to form mucous. e.g. dairy, refined sugar, flour, wheat, soft carbs.

So first change one must make is to stop these foods. Secondly, you may not have bacteria or infection. What about parasites? Intestinal parasites often cause such problems. So a parasite cleanse is indicated. Itch is a sure confirmation.

A simple home remedy is to crush a clove of garlic in a cup, add half a cup of yogurt with 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and take this first thing empty stomach every morning for 6 weeks. All the excess mucous will reduce in addition to odor. Turmeric is not only anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, but it is anti-kapha, anti-mucous, anti-septic, immune booster and is now proven to be useful in ovarian cancer and it is ancient remedy for both types of arthritis.
