This is a little embarressing, but I have extreme external vaginal skin itching. I finally went to the doctor and got a complete well woman exam. No STDs or anything, whew. My doctor said it was just dry skin. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried several different skin creams with little to no help. My doctor gave me Diflucan which worked great but then it came back and I can't keep taking Diflucan forever. Any suggestions?

Have you recently changed body soaps or laundry detergent? If you've been to the doctor and this has never happened to you before, this could be caused by using a product your body could be allergic to. Try using Dove Sensative Skin and switching to a nonperfume based laundry detergent.
Hope this helps relieve the itching.

A little baby oil could help. Vaginal dryness could also be from low estrogen levels in your body. Are you on birth control? You may ask your doctor to switch to a different kind of birth control with more estrogen in it.

Well, go for nivia lotion.
Best lotin in my opinion. Also if you shave down there it can itch as it grows back.

Try Vaseline, and go to another doctor to see what else she/he can do.
