Other reasons listed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Other than STD / yeast, there could be the following reasons for an itchy clitoris -
1. Dryness of the area.
2. Irritation / allergy to something - talc, cream, soap, toilet paper, sanitary pad etc.
3. A boil due to shaving
4. Abrasions due to rough sex / trauma from nails while masturbating, fingering etc.
If you have a yeast infection, and you went in for a vaginal procedure, the infection would flare up.
All the best
