Female vulvar itching may result from frequently wearing tight synthetic fiber underwear or using substandard sanitary pads, which can cause allergic reactions and irritate the local skin. It may also be caused by poor personal hygiene, leading to parasitic infections of the vulva. Additionally, deficiencies in vitamins or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or uremia can also lead to vulvar itching in women.
