dryness and itching with new birth control pill

Symptoms

ive recently changed my pill from one with a placebo week to a continuous pill because every time i went into the placebo week, i would get really dry and itchy and a lot more prone to yeast infections down there. However, since being on this new pill (i think about 3 weeks?) ive been getting the same symptoms randomly anyways and its really annoying because thats literally the reason i switched to a new one in the first place.

i know its probably just my body adjusting to the new pill but is there any way to fix or at least alleviate the dryness and itching? sex hurts and im so uncomfortable 💔
