Hi lybrate-user, itching in private parts can be due to multiple reasons, fungal infections and scabies being the most common. Also note if the itching is more in the night or any specific situation. Consult a dermatologist in your nearby area for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Also, ask your family members or roommates if they have any history of night itching or any other skin lesions.
Hope this helps.
