ITCHY VULVA (sometimes vagina and anus)

i have had symptoms of itchyness constantly for about the past two months. my anus is also itchy, and once in a while i get an itch in my vagina. i was just wondering, if i have had symptoms for this long non-stop is it more likely that i have herpes or more likely that i have something else??

some other info: my skin is especially itchy above the clitoris, in the creases of my labia, and along the outer edge of the labia where my hair starts. the right side is itchier. the skin looks corroded above my clitoris, and to the sides.

Hello,
I have Had an itchy problem for the last 5 years. The first time I had the itchy was in my butt, I had it for a week. Second time my vulvar area was itchy too. I thought the itchy was because I use to shave the whole area. I stoped using regular soaps and detergents with fragrance. I only use neutral soap, It helped for a while but I'm still itchy. My itchy problem comes and goes. My right side of my vulva is it itchIer. It's very uncomfortable and embarrassing. I'm not sexually active for the last 10 months. I used vaginal creams over the counter for bacterial and yeast infection , I have seen 5 gynecologist but no good results for me, they say there is nothing wrong in my vagina or my butt but I'm still itchy. I have been on cortisone it helped not any more. I have try home remedies but nothing seems to help to get rid of this problem. What can it be? Please help. I want my life back.  I'm a 50 years old woman. I checked my hormones level 2 years ago, my hormones levels where good

Did you ever find out what the problem is?

okay so I'm 17 and sexually active. I've been having anal and vaginal itching for a few months now. it's more severe at night.. I took an over the counter yeast medicine because I thought it was a yeast infection but it didn't help. so I went to my doctor and she said there was yeast when she did a test so she prescribed me pills to take for 3 days. those didn't help either so I'm out of ideas. what happens if it is a yeast infection but it's not going away? or could it be something else? I need help!

Could also be inverse psoriasis-- I have this and it itches like crazy. It bleeds easily and the skin breaks if you scratch it. that is one tell-tale sign that it is psoriasis and not lichen sclerosis.
