Itchy Vagina

Hey! I'm not sexually active, but my vagina lips have been itchy off and on for the last couple days. I'm not getting any weird discharge, itch on the inside or smell, either. Any ideas? Could this just be an allergy to toilet paper, change of diet, etc.?

If it's not super bad (like, can't wear underwear) it probably isn't a yeast infection.  If you've changed soaps recently that could be it, if you're using scented toilet paper, or using bath salts/oils.  Take showers rather than baths, clean yourself with a gentle non-scented soap, wear clean underwear.

It very well could be something like that. Maybe a soap you used or even the detergent to wash your clothes is aggrevating it!
Use a cold cloth on it, it'll help with the itch. You could have a bit of a pH imbalance.
A long time ago, I used to get really itchy before my period came. Not sure why but I always got it and after my period it was gone. Could be just hormones.
