Specializes in Psychiatry

Have you been : Sexually active? If so i would start by checking a home pregnancy test. The brown ; light pink are likely blood. Itching can be caused by many things including a yeast infection.

Several things: Could be hormonal imbalance, infection, possible pregnancy. If you don't get a real period see your doctor.
