The most common presenting symptom of [[Candida]] [[vulvovaginitis]] is severe [[vulvar]] itching or burning.<ref name="pmid9794664">{{cite journal |vauthors=Eckert LO, Hawes SE, Stevens CE, Koutsky LA, Eschenbach DA, Holmes KK |title=Vulvovaginal candidiasis: clinical manifestations, risk factors, management algorithm |journal=Obstet Gynecol |volume=92 |issue=5 |pages=757–65 |year=1998 |pmid=9794664 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
