Hello,
Anal itching and vaginal itching have several causes, it can be from eating spicy foods, irritation around the anus due to frequent watery stools, poor hygiene, skin tags, anal fissures, bacterial infections, fungal infections and parasitic infections. If you’re thinking of parasitic infections, this is usually caused by Enterobius vermicularis or commonly called pinworms, most of the patients though have no symptoms, and the frequent complaint is anal itching more often than not during night time or early morning. See your family doctor to have appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
