Concentrated itching a week before period?

I’ve had a strange symptom that I think might be a symptom of PMS but I’m not quite sure. It’s an itching on one side of my inner labia. It only has happened the past three months on the right side and is not accompanied by blisters or any other outward symptoms except being a little red and very slightly tingly, irritation feeling (i believe because I’m itching). It only happens I think when I’ve touched it frequently from being nervous. I’m super conscious about any sensations in the genital area because i have mild anxiety and thought I had genital herpes for a while (I got the all clear from like 3 doctors just to be sure lol) but I’m still really aware of any sensations. Nothing else is out of the ordinary, no burning when I pee, no weird discharge or anything. I haven’t been sexually active for four months. Any clue what this could be, or if it’s anything to be concerned about? It usually goes away in a day or two.

I have heard of this kind of cyclic issue that surrounds our cycle, either right before our period or right after.  It very well could be do to the changes of PH in the vagina as related to your hormones.  Do you go for an annual visit each year to an ob/gyn?  This would be a good time to ask!

I already went for my annual before this started happpening and I wasn’t sure if I should make another appointment because it doesn’t seem like that much of an issue? It’s just weird that it’s in one spot. This cycle it’s happened 3 out of the last 5 days and my menstraution is due in 5 days.
