Please help docs! is itching normal in the genital area even if no infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not normal: Genital itching has many causes: superficial infections (jock itch and several others), allergies (e.g. to detergent, perfumes, etc), and many kinds of dermatitis. Sometimes itching has no apparent cause but can be effectively treated, e.g. with a mild cortisone cream. Don't make assumptions or treat yourself. See a doctor. If you already did that with no clear answers, see a dermatologist.
