HPV is the most common viral STD; chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD.
Herpes
The answer to this question varies by location, however in the United States the most commonly reported STI is the Human Papilloma virus.
Chlamydia is the most common bacterial infection.
Viral is HPV (genital warts); bacterial is chlamydia.
Gonorhhoea
Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial infection in the US.
I would guess it's the yeast infection. HPV, the human papilloma virus, is also very common. HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, is epidemic in some countries.

The most common STD is either HPV or chlamydia. The first Related Link (see below) says it's HPV, while the second Related Link says it's chlamydia. The last two simply say that both are very common, but HPV "might be" the most common.

There are more than 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat.

The most common STDs that typically affect college aged adults are gonorrhea and chlamydia. Gonorrhea typically presents painful urination and pus filled discharge. Chlamydia has very vague nonspecific symptoms and many times, has no symptoms. Both are typically treated with antibiotics at the same time. It is important to test and treat the sexual partner(s) of those affected. The risk of acquiring these infections can be mitigated with using barrier protection (i.e., condoms) during all sexual encounters before genital-genital, oral-genital, genital-anal, oral-anal contact has occurred. If you have any questions or are experiencing concerning symptoms, please see a qualified health care professional.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. The #2 spot looks like it goes to Herpes-Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) in terms of prevalence, which is what I assume you mean by common. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are the most common bacterial STDs in the United States, but overall, more people have HPV or HSV by far. I strongly recommend opening the related links to the CDC pages I provided, which provide detailed information about this.
syphilis and gonorrhea

What cause itchiness?

Both sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and non-sexually transmitted infections can cause itchiness in men and women. * While the most common symptom of all STIs is no symptom at all, one of the second most common symptoms is itching. Itching can be caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic STIs. Some common sexually transmitted bacterial infections that can cause itching are chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasma, and non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). It's important to note that even if the itching subsides, bacterial infections do not go away on their own, and they need to be treated with antibiotics to be cured. * Parasitic STIs that often cause someone to feel itchy include both scabies and pubic lice. As with bacterial infections, even if the itchiness alleviates, parasitic infections need to be treated to be cured, because they don't go away on their own. * Lastly, sexually transmitted viral infections like herpes (HSV) and genital warts (HPV) can also cause itching.
