Itching at the top of vagina

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

At times, i get itching at the top of vagina only at one particular spot, just above the clitoris. This generally happens when the area is exposed to wet underpants for sometime. Other times, even if that particular spot is touched by mistake, it burns or itches. Why does this happen? What can be done to prevent this? Whom should I consult, a gynaecologist or a dermatologist?
