Yeast infection is the commonest cause. Lichen planus or sclerosis cause localized redness and itching.

It can be allergic dermatitis. Make sure you did not use anything new which turned out to be allergic to your local area and also, quite possibly, it is not a fungal infection. Please visit your ob/gyn.
