Doctor's answer:

Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as vaginitis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vaginal malnutrition, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended that you conduct a thorough examination and follow medical advice for treatment.
