Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching most commonly occurs on the clitoris and labia minora, but can also affect the labia majora, perineum, and perianal area. It is often episodic, with symptoms typically worsening at night. Severe itching may result in visible skin scratches.1. Topical application to the vulva
Use itch-relieving solutions, creams, or ointments, such as calamine lotion, diphenhydramine cream, or corticosteroid creams.
2. Local blockade or point injection
Medications such as corticosteroids, vitamin B12, and promethazine may be used.
3. Treatment targeting the underlying cause.
