I'm dealing with an intense itching sensation in the area between my vagina and anus, and it's been going on for about a month now. It's really hard to stop scratching and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Could you guide me on what might be causing this or suggest what I should do?

Itching between the vagina and anus can have many causes, including: Skin conditions: Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and lichen simplex chronicus can all cause itching. Irritants: Sweat, tight clothing, soaps, perfumes, detergents, and razor burn can all irritate the skin. Allergies: An allergic reaction to something in your environment can cause itching. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Genital herpes, genital warts, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can all cause itching. Pinworms: These parasitic worms can cause intense itching at night when females lay their eggs around the anus. Yeast infection: A yeast infection in the vagina or anus can cause itching. Fecal contamination: Contact with fecal material can cause itching. consult dermatologist

I'm concerned about me and my husband's blood group. We both have AB blood group, and I'm wondering if this could cause any issues when we decide to plan for a baby. Does having the same blood group affect family planning, or is it not really a big deal? Looking forward to some insight!
No problem you can have baby safely

I've got my scan results, and it shows Crl at 0.48cm, G.A is 6 weeks 1 day, E.D.D is 12042022, Heartbeat is regular at 124Bpm, and a summary of normal pregnancy size for 6 weeks and 1 day. There's also a left ovarian simple cyst. I'm just wondering, based on these results, should I go for another scan in a week, or is everything looking okay for now?
Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
