Answer

This may sound a bit too simple, nevertheless... Many women are allergic to certain types of underwear material and colors (or rather the dye that is used for color). The best type of underwear is plain white cotton, My apology to Victoria Secret, but facts are facts. There is also the possibility that you are allergic to the type of laundry detergent or fabric softner that you are using. Lanacane or other types of OTC cortizone ointment will help.

Answer

You may be experiencing drynes in the area which will cause itching. And it also depends on the type of underwear you wear. Cotton is always best because it's breathable. If you shave you pubic hair, this may be another reason for itching because of the hair trying to grow back.

Answer

You might by allergic for the soap powder you are using in your washing machine, try neutral soap powder, or Lux soap flakes, see what happens then. Good luck

Answer

All of the above are good answers. I would try them. If they do not work and you do not shave I would try shaving off the hair in the affected area. I did this and it itched for two weeks and then that went away and I have never had an itch again, really. Weird, but it worked for me.

Answer

the itchyness could be an std as well. dont be fooled because it might be allergies. it is better to get it checked than to find out later on when it gets worse.
