You need to continue to follow up on this with your provider.  There are many treatments out there for genital skin that has been overly irritated by infections and/or is thining which makes it more prone to tearing.

If you are worried you might also have herpes, ask for a type specific herpes igg blood test.

Itching all the time isn't due to herpes either. Herpes itching would come and go with definite periods of relief in between ( at least 2-3 weeks in between bouts ).  

Have they tested you for yeast and bacterial infections?

I like to spray dermoplast spray for itching ( the blue can, not the red can for the genital area ).
