Doctor's answer:

Hello, vulvar itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include special infections (such as candidal vulvovaginitis, 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 may also experience vulvar itching. It is important to first confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment.
