Answer
Your Bichon may have several different things going on. The two most common problems if she is "scratching her private area" would be anal gland impaction/ infection, or worm infestation. I would start by deworming in this case. Over the counter dewormers are available. This may be the first thing to try. If your dog is experiencing diarrhea as the subject line indicates, this would also go along with worm infestation.
