Can external itching be treated?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! I have a shy problem that I don't want to go to the hospital to see. I don't have any other illnesses, just chronic vulvar itching. I don't know what's going on, and after a careful self-examination, there's nothing else wrong, but the itching is unbearable.

Doctor's answer:

Pathological Etiology Local Causes Vulvar Itching Illustration (1) Special Infectious Causes Candidal and trichomonal vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause pain. Pinworms can cause itching around the anus and vulva in young girls, usually occurring only at night. (2) Chronic Vulvar Dysplasia The main symptom is severe itching, accompanied by white vulvar skin. (3) Local Allergy Allergies to condoms, tampons, sanitary pads, or other drugs, chemicals. (4) Poor Hygiene Lack of vaginal secretions, even rinsing with urine or feces, can cause long-term irritation to the vulva, leading to itching. Using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation, or wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear, can cause itching due to the accumulation of moisture and heat. (5) Other Skin Inflammations.
