I also had the itching and flaking on my vulva some time ago. I went to see a gynecologist and she told me it was nothing so serious and it I can get rid of it easily.
It was a fungal infection of the vagina called Candida. Have you heard of it? She told me so many girls and women experience it. It is usually followed by vaginal discharge and smelly odor but not necessarily. Do you have any accompanying symptoms besides the itching and dandruff?
Candida is usually not caused by sexual activity although prolonged sex may contribute to it. It is usually provoked by a poor hygiene, antibiotic treatment, bc pills, condoms, over washing and douching.
Have you been scratching the area? Don’t-you will only make it worse and you may experience burning sensations then if not already. Do you have burning while peeing?
It would be best if you went to a gynecologist and see if this is Candida. Maybe you have a seborrheic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, so it should be checked for proper treatment.
