Is it normal for a Vertical Clitoral Hood piercing that is a week & 5 days old to itch sometimes?I am sure that there is nothing else (STD, VD, etc.) causing the itchiness because I am not sexually active. Is it just the piercing healing?

Yes, it is normal. Any wound to your body (including a piercing) will itch as it heals.

Avoid scratching it. It is one of the worst things you can do. It can potentially get irritated or infected if scratching is done too much.

If you feel an itch coming on, put a warm washcloth on it. This should temporarily relieve the itch.
