Hi.  I suspect you have vaginal atrophy.  Is the blood from the vagina?  'vagisil' won't replace oestrogen, do read the threads on 'bladder issues' and 'vaginal atrophy'.    Make notes  ;). As oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry: inside and out - vagina, deep in the ears, nostrils, skin, scalp ......... so replacing oestrogen into the vagina can really really help.

 :welcomemm:  do make a list of your worries B4 the phone call so the tyou don't forget any issues.

Hi Bumble187 and welcome! I agree with CLKD that it sounds like VA.Yes, itching and slight bleeding are common symptoms. Ask for local oestrogen treatment. If the itching doesn't improve after a few weeks get examined for other skin conditions.

You don't need to have any blood tests or examinations for VA ;-)
