Is Vaginal Itching A Symptom Of Genital Herpes?
I have been experiencing vaginal itching (both by the hole and near the clitoris, and I think my vulva is swollen as well. I haven’t noticed any unusual discharge or bumps/sores, and I haven’t experienced anything along the lines of fever or sores. Is the something like vaginitis or is it genital herpes?

Hello,
I believe it is the infection of vulva, as its associated severe itching and sometimes associated with swelling.
I suggest you keep proper perineal hygiene and wash your perineal area with V wash every time you visit washroom followed by the application of candid ointment (clotrimazole) over the area of itching until the symptoms subside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
