Vulvar itching and erosion may be caused by inflammation. Vulvar itching and erosion can be seen in various parts of the vulva, with the labia minora and the inner side of the labia majora being the most common, followed by the vestibule membrane and the area around the vaginal opening. Many diseases can cause vulvitis, including non-specific vulvitis, herpes simplex infection, Behcet's disease, vulvar tuberculosis, syphilis, and sexually transmitted lymphogranuloma. In addition, about 1/3 of vulvar cancers manifest as vulvar erosion in the early stages of the disease. Generally speaking, the most common causes of vulvar itching and erosion are the following:

1. When skin diseases affect the vulva, erythema multiforme may also occur, causing itching and soreness of the vulva.

2. Acute leukemia may cause nodular infiltrative lesions in the vulva.

3. Sexually transmitted diseases, including vulvar cancer caused by viruses, inguinal granuloma caused by chlamydia, primary syphilis ulcer caused by spirochetes, soft ulcers and chronic granuloma caused by bacteria.

4. Autoimmune diseases, such as disseminated discoid lupus erythematosus, may cause frequent recurrent vulvar erosion.

5. Malignant tumors mainly present with vulvar pain, but 1/3 of people also experience painless vulvar itching and soreness.

6. Causes of vulvar itching and ulceration include systemic diseases, such as chronic inflammation of small vessels and chronic granulomatous inflammation. These diseases can cause ulceration in the perineum or perianal area.
