Is there a remedy for itching around the vaginal area?

Vaginal itch is most commonly caused by a yeast infection or irritation and inflammation of the skin. Other possible causes include trichomoniasis, a parasitic infection that is often sexually transmitted, bacterial vaginosis, and vaginal dryness due to reduced estrogen levels after menopause. Treatment depends on the cause and can include antifungal, antifungal, corticosteroid, and estrogen creams. Some of these remedies are sold over-the-counter, but if you are not sure what is causing your vaginal itch, see your doctor so you can get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
