Try to use vagisil wipes, if it doesn't get any better you have to go to the doctor because it can become very serious. It more than likely could be a yeast infection, but the only way to determine that is if you have a doctor check it out.

It would help if you explained how bad the itching is- is it mild, or severe? If it's a mild itching, it could have to do with a number of things. Remember to always wear breathable, cotton underwear- sometimes wearing the wrong fabric, or wearing underwear that's too tight can cause itching. Also, it might help for you to use a feminine wash- Summer's Eve is good, they also carry a formula for sensitive skin. Use that to wash the area every time you take a shower. A common cause of itching is washing with soap or body wash- both of which can by drying (thus causing itch), or irritating (due to drying ingredients, or fragrance). Only use a feminine wash. You did mention that you aren't ready to shave down there- when you are, remember that a bit of hair is there for a reason, so it's better to trim/groom the hair instead. Too much pubic hair could also cause itching, so it's best to trim. If you notice the itching is not improving, or gets worse..and is accompanied by a bad odor, yellowish or clumpy white discharge, then yes, you will have to get it checked out, as those are common signs of infections (either bacterial or yeast infection). But if you only have minor itching, a bit of proper hygiene will help.

it might just be dry down there so just get some moisturizing creams and it probably help.

There are a lot of creams you can buy for that. If that doesn't work, though, you need to go to the doctor for it.
