Vulvar cancer
Vulvar cancer is a type of cancer that occurs on the outer surface area of the female genitalia. This commonly forms as a lump or sore on the vulva that often causes itching.
Frequently, itching is associated with vulvar cancer. Other possible symptoms include pain and tenderness, bleeding not from menstruation, skin changes or a lump.
