I finally have an appointment, unfortunately not until June, with a gynecologist who specializes in painful, more unusual vulva problems. Will check for cancellations she may have before then. I'm hoping she will have some answers about this. Doctors are much too quick to diagnosis a condition based on what is most familiar to them. But when 15 minutes is all the time you get with doctors, in todays environment, there's no time for a much more. I was insistent the doctor I saw last month listen to what I was saying. They just don't listen or discount what is being said to them too often. So irritating..

Totally agree, this is why I have been actually trying to diagnose this myself. Vulva issues are notoriously hard to diagnose. I'm going to get the Herpes test and I now have a RX for Valtrex. But the longer I stay on this Vagifem the better my issues are getting I'm nearly 2 weeks symptom free, been using Vagifem for a little over 4 weeks, and I am splitting the pills in half so I'm only using 5mcg per does. Things are happier down there!!!

Definitely irritating. I hope that the dermatologist will be more helpful and a better listener.
