Vulvar itching is a symptom that can arise from various causes. Local causes include specific infections (such as candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworm infection), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritants, poor hygiene habits, and dermatological conditions.Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, or vitamin B deficiency often experience vulvar itching. Some cases lack obvious local or systemic causes and may be related to psychological factors. Those affected should identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.【Prescription】
