It can also itch while healing, you might be itching due to a combination of overdoing it then healing, then freaking out and overdoing it with anything.
I would also add that you should make sure you wear cotton crotch underwear and let it breathe at night by sleeping in nothing on the bottom or something very loose.
If you are becoming sexually active it is time you see a gynecologist, and it is time at 18 so your close, and the doctor can't tell mom anything. That being said you need to find a trusted older women to talk to.

Sweetie, it is probably an allergic reaction to soap or detergent. Try using Dove soap for sensitive skin or any unscented soap. See what kind of detergent your mom uses or fabric softener. It may have a lot of perfumes. You do not have an std. You do not have cancer. You have sensitive skin. Stop messing with your area. Don't dry it out by washing it too much. You are irritating it. Ice will make it feel better and maybe a mild aloe lotion. Don't be afraid to tell your mom so that she can buy less senitve detergents. You didn't do anything wrong so you don't even need to mention anything you did with your boyfriend. Its not that, believe me. I have a sensitive "area" also and have had this problem since I was a teen also. It *****. You might also have been "played" with too roughly. That happens to me sometimes when I am irritated from too much touching also.Relax. If its not gone in a few more days AFTER you have tried new unscented soap (this is a must) then you have to tell your mom and see a doctor. I hope I have relieved your concer.

See a doctor. If your that concerned...get it checked out.

I highly doubt it's cancer. Cancer does not cause horrible itching as you said.
