What Causes Severe Itching In Labia Majora Of A Virgin?

I am having severe itching in the labia majora, especially near the vagina, every night. i dont have any discharge which is indicative of an infection. The area has become slightly raw due to the scratching, but i have not noticed any other changes in the texture. I am a virgin, not sexually active. I have had episodes of candidiasis in the past, all successfully treated. I am unsure why i have this itching. Kindly suggest what to do.

Hi,
Looking to the history it seems that this problem might be due to,
1,yeast infection,
2, poor local personal hygiene,
3, having warm infestation,worms coming out of anal canal during night and coming at vaginal site giving rise itching and soreness.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Wash your lower genitals properly while taking shower.
Apply triple action cream for few days.
Ok and take care.
