I saw my gynecologist three weeks ago for some itching and burning – she ran every test in the book and all were negative (chlamydia, ghanna rhea, herpes, even HIV & syphellus). Plus she gave me diflucan just in case.

Now, three weeks later the symptoms are back. Went to see her today and she said she definitely sees redness/irritation with a clumpy discharge.) She says I don’t fit textbook anything, because everything was negative (also, I had a chlamydia/GC test earlier this year which was also neg, so I’m double confirmed!) and she doesn’t see any signs of herpes. She gave me a stronger yeast medication and a topical steroid that is supposed to help. Said she thinks it’s something “environmental” i.e. soap, detergent, etc.

Has anyone had this problem??? I am miserable from this burning but I can’t seem to think of anything I’ve changed like soap or anything.

Also, she recommended three soaps I could try that are supposed to be milder than the Summers Eve I’m using right now. It was Neutrogena, Biore, or something else. Well, I went to Walgreens, and they didn’t have the first two so I was trying to remember what the third one is. I think it was Aveeno but I’m not sure?? Anyone know?

Are you on birth control?
