Hello and welcome to HCM,
Itching sensation on vaginal lip is seen in infections, fungal infection mainly.
Fungal infection causes intense itching which may result in excoriation, bleeding and raw areas on genitalia.
Burning sensation while urinating is expected.
However, it is strange that the condition is persisting from past one year.
I suggest you to consult a gynecologist for clinical assessment of the lesion.
Fungal infection is the first possibility, however, other possibilities also need to be ruled out.
Hemorrhoids is condition that affects the anal canal and is unlikely to be associated with this vaginal lesion.
Clinical assessment, relevant investigations are required for diagnosis and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
