I was diagnosed with vulvodynia several years ago. My symptoms were a severe scratchy, burning in vulva. Found creams did not work. In fact, creams made it worse. Was finally prescribed gabapentin (Neurontin) after seeing several doctors. It took a while to take effect and I did need to increase the dosage as per the doctor's instructions, but it worked! If you are not opposed to taking medications, you may want to consider speaking to your doctor about it. It works on nerve pain although was originally formulated to treat people with seizures.
