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.

I had Mirena for almost 3 years. I ask my doctor to remove it because of your same sympthoms. Itchy vaginal area and frequent yeast infections. They removed it about  3 months ago. And unfortunately I still have the itchiness. I buy different over the counter medicine but none has worked for me yet. Planning to go to my doctor again to see what could be.
