Many women have this problem. It can be a skin condition, for example lichen sclerosis, or other skin problem resulting from allergies or a prescribed or OTC medication that wasn’t good for you. It may not be a gynecological problem. Have you seen a dermatologist? I saw several but wasn’t’t diagnosed until I was seen by the head of dermatology at a major hospital. It matters who you see in terms of doctors. In the end I was prescribed the correct treatment and now I am pain free. Can you provide more details about your case ? When did it start and where have you gone for assistance?

I started 4 years ago. I have done physical therapy, took gabapentin from dermatitis to, took many botoxinjections , used Valium suppositories, estrogen Supository, used Premarin
Cream, coconut oil, lidocaine gel, Lyrica I had Cyroablation of my Pudendal nerve and many Pudendal nerve injection and after one by a doctor in a hospital setting which took away the pain for 12 hours so he would not give me a series because the effect didn’t last long enough. I have taken yeast infection medication and antibiotics. I am about to give up. My GYN just sent me to a Emory pain clinic. They can do a trial to see if it works. I will probably do that since I don’t know what to do. Maybe all the stress living with a mean husband for 42 years caused it. I have done many spin classes which may have caused it. Do you have any suggestions?
