Vaginal itch: Vaginal itching without discharge can indicate infections like yeast or stis like herpes. It can indicate contact dermatitis - an allergic reaction to household products like certain soaps and laundry detergents. There are also some skin conditions liked lichen sclerosis and lichen simplex chronicus.
