What causes itching at the base of the pubic region?

In life, many women will have the problem of itching in private parts. Private itching will have a certain impact on the work and life of most female friends. However, many women are embarrassed to talk about the itching in private parts. In many cases, they will miss the best time for treatment, causing a minor illness to develop into a major illness. Therefore, we should pay more attention to hygiene in this aspect in our daily life, and wash and sterilize underwear frequently to avoid the growth of bacteria. So what is the reason for itching at the root of pubic hair?

Causes of vaginal itching:

1. Scabies infection: When scabies occurs, the external skin lesions are the most serious, so the local itching is also the most obvious.

2. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

There are many reasons for vulvar itching. More than 10 different types of vaginitis can lead to increased secretions at the vaginal opening, causing itching. At this time, you must use the medicine correctly under the guidance of a doctor to fundamentally solve the problem. If you clean blindly, it may cause local flora imbalance and treatment will be more troublesome.

3. Viral infection: Genital warts mostly occur in the female vaginal wall, cervical opening and vulva, and may also cause foul-smelling leucorrhea. Molluscum contagiosum occurring in the vulva often presents as round papules with an umbilical depression in the center, and may also cause itching in the vulva. Genital herpes is often manifested by the appearance of bright, rice-sized blisters on the urethral opening and vaginal wall, accompanied by local itching.

4. Sexual allergy: This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. There are people who are allergic to semen, condoms, and friction.

5. Skin diseases of the vulva: The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching. The local itching caused by vulvar eczema and neurodermatitis is more severe. The former is manifested as papules and blisters with unclear local skin boundaries and erosion exudate, while the latter often causes thickening of the skin with moss and lichenification due to scratching. In addition to causing local itching, leukoplakia of the vulva is often accompanied by vulvar malnutrition and skin atrophy.

6. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin and causes vulva itching.

7. Trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

8. Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may suffer from "fixed drug rash" caused by taking sulfonamides or other drugs. This rash often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

9. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often stick to the skin surface or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a needle. The bites of pubic lice and their venom and excrement can cause itching and desquamation of the skin, and may lead to eczema-like changes and folliculitis.

10. Pinworm infection: It mainly affects young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, the pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, and irritate the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.
