I have been suffering by itching sensation in clitoris (upper vaginal part) since two days. Is it due to having a lot of mangoes or eating outside fried chicken items.

Question

Itching in Clitoris can be due to poor genital hygiene or infection. So keep your private parts cleaned with plain water, don't use any soap and shampoo, perfumes there but occasionally use vaginal douches. Keep the area dry. Wear loose cotton undergarments. Increase in blood sugar levels due to excessive intake of mangoes can lead to fungal infection and itching. Get Fasting and Post parandial blood sugar level done to rule out undetected Diabetes Mellitus. If not relieved meet a doctor.

Personal hygiene is the main concern, although I have never heard of mangoes resulting in this system yet.
