Brief Answer:
Can be due to infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The big size of clitoris is due to hypertrophy. This can reduce on its own after sometime to some extent only. If it is big since puberty then only surgical resection can help you. The presence of itching and pain is suggestive of infection or inflammation in the area. This needs a proper treatment after a vaginal swab culture. Using a steroid based antifungal cream can help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
