Some women use toilet paper improperly. The skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, causing chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva.

For women with diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics that cause imbalance in the normal flora, the fungus Candida albicans can easily invade the vulva and vagina, causing fungal vulva and vaginitis, often causing bean-dregs-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

The "fixed drug eruption" caused by women with allergies taking sulfonamides or other drugs often occurs at the junction of the vulva skin and mucous membranes. In addition to local itching, it can be complicated by erosion and exudation. If drugs are used for vaginal douching or intravaginal insertion, vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur.
