    Question

    I have been having itching down there for a few months now. It comes and goes between periods and there are a few red bumps. I haven't shaved for a few months so I don't think that it is from that. I am still a virgin so it is not from a STD.

    Answer

    It could be from not showering every day, or a little yeast infection, but only a doctor can tell you for sure.
