Vulva is raw, tender and burns

hi, it has been a year that i am having this raw, tender and burning feeling in vagina. it all started with a lot of burning in the opening of vagina;however, it stopped. but now it goes and comes back. the burning is not that much but i have this feeling there is raw and burning sensation. I am a virgin. i did get tested for yeast,and bacterial infections but it all came negative. I dont where did it come from but it bothers my daily life. the doctors says there is nothing. can it be IC =s

I have the same feeling for about 7 months now. the burning can get so intense that i cant move and have found ways to soothe it but nothing instant. i too was checked for yeast and bacterial infections and since i am not a virgin i got tested for all std's and they came back negative. i have seen a urologist as well only to tell me that i occasionally have a urinary tract infection but the meds i am given to clear that do not rid me of the raw tender burning feeling in my vulvar area.

Maybe it's laundry detergents/dryer sheets...double rinse undies and pants/shorts...coconut oil on the outside of Vulva seems to help.

Another thing that can help is to wash such delicates using only baking soda then the double rinse.  As these are lightweight items, I recommend hanging up to air dry if you have to use shared machines as in an apartment setting or public laundromat setting.  The residual from other peoples' use and over use of dryer sheets does get on your clothes, so it makes sense to air dry your delicates.

One other thing:  Use cotton only underwear.  All the other kinds, even when lined with cotton in the sensitive area, do not allow your sensitive area to breathe.  You could liken it to sealing your food in plastic storage of some sort.  Your wetter foods will develop condensation on the inside of the plastic.  Well, the same thing happens with a woman's sensitive area, because we do have moisture that needs to be allowed to air dry.
