What is the cause of vaginal itching?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Since yesterday, the vagina has been incredibly itchy inside, and there are tiny small bumps on the labia that can only be felt with the hand. Don't know what's wrong!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pruritus of the external genitalia is a symptom that can be caused by various reasons. Local causes include special infections (such as candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworm disease), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin B deficiency also frequently experience vulvar itching. Some patients have no obvious local or systemic causes.
