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.

What kind of doctor deals with itchiness?

It makes sense to start the evaluation of itchiness with your primary care provider. They can do initial tests to help narrow the possibilities for cause and treatment. Itchiness can result from problems with skin, hormones, gallbladder, allergy, and many other disorders, so narrowing the diagnosis with your PCP makes the most sense.
