Q. I have a very long story 27 months ago I had a baby during my pregnancy I suffered from thrush but my doctor prescribed me with canestan combi, which worked, I had a induced labour with inducing gel which as soon as it was used stinged inside my vagina it instantly started stinging and I was suffering with a lot of discomfort, I told the doctor I didn’t want anymore and she said do you have thrush I said no, and she continued to put more gel inside, (maybe I should have mentioned that I had been recently treated for thrush) I eventually went on a drip and had a epidural to progress labour and I was put on a catheter , 9 centimetres and 3 days later I had a c-section and I stayed on the catheter to the next morning, when I eventually went to the toilet when i wiped myself my vulva felt very sore and dry, almost like i was scraping the area, things continued the same for weeks but i just assumed it was because of the trauma i had been through, eventually when me and my boyfriend had sex it burned really bad, and for about a year it stayed the same even my clitoris burns when touched! after the 1st year i noticed the burning sensation went away for about 10s day during ovulation and my next period, but the burning would come back about 10 days b4 my next period, things are still the same each month, same routine, anyway a year ago i went to the doctor and had swabs and they were negative then i got referred to a specialist and she had one look and said you have eczema,she gave me locoid steroid cream for when its bad (which is for 3 weeks constant a month) and a double base shower gel, i could feel the burn even when i applied these it even made it worse and i eventually realised they was not working, so i went to see a private gynaecologist who took swabs they were also negative then she said i have something like a nappy rash and to use sudo creme and betnovate steroid cream which didn’t work, at this point i don’t want anymore steroid cream (its probably doing more bad then good) then a couple of months back during my period the burning was so severe it was unbearable i also go a huge cut down the right side of my vagina and i made an appointment for the doctor she game me canesten cream and referred me to a dermatologist the canesten did ease the pain, the following month i got the cut again during my period, when i went to see the dermatologist she said i do have slight eczema that could have been triggered from a reaction from the inducing gel during labour, but i also have vestibulodynia and gave me yet more steroid eumovate cream, epaderm cream and numbing gel, the numbing gel only worked on the opening but my clitoris still burns as i obviously didn’t put the numbing gel on my clitoris,but the burning pain is up inside my vagina too, when i read more about vestibulodynia i realised that i have probably been wrongly diagnosed because its isnt just on my vagina opening its all over and inside, and the creams she gave me yet again when applied the burning was still present, also on my examination with the dermatologist she said the i have got a huge scar from the cut i have been getting during my period and also my inner lips have disappeared, as i feel like the symptom feels like yeast i have been trying home remedies but again burning is still present and i also took a saliva test when you spit in a glass first thing in the morning ans if the saliva goes to the bottom (which mine did) then there are traces of candida in my body (not sure if that is accurate), i feel that whatever it is , is controlled by my hormones because when i am not due my period and not ovulating i feel normal. and i am really at my lowest with it all now, i cant go on this way. thank you for your time

A. Thanks. Im soory to hear of this challenging situation. Perhaps you should arrange to have a biopsy of the area when you have the symptoms. This may guide the treatment your dermatologist or gynecologist or GP will decide.
