It is not possible to determine solely whether vulvar itching and pain will resolve spontaneously; a comprehensive assessment based on multiple factors is required. If the itching and pain are caused by folliculitis, they may resolve on their own. However, if they are due to an infection, spontaneous recovery is less likely, and without prompt treatment, more serious conditions may develop. Patients are advised to seek medical care at a hospital as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment from a physician.
