See answer: Vaginal itching is a common problem and usually either due to an infection or irritation. The three most common causes of infectious vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis, yeast, and trichomonas all of which are usually associated with odor and/or discharge. Non-infectious vaginitis are usually caused by an irritant: vaginal sprays, douches, perfumed soaps, scented detergents and spermicidal products.

I agree with the previous answer , however , persistent itching can be related to the presence of dysplastic cells. Therefore thaw area should be inspected by a professional with expertise in vulvar and vaginal colposcopies

Both are very valuable contributions, I will also like to advise that personal hygiene to include use of garments and undergarments that allow for air circulation will help, another factor that causes intense vaginal itching with no sign of infection is lichen sclerosus, planus and chronicus simplex. I do agree that a consult with GYN is needed. Take care
