Extremely itchy labia near vagina, no discharge

Ok, so I've been putting up with on again, off again itching for months on my labia, near my vaginal opening. Never "diagnosed" with HPV but I did get rid of a suspected wart this past year. Can you have a bacterial infection without discharge? It drives me CRAZY sometimes, the only thing that calms it is gold bond ointment, which is minty and refreshing but I'd like no itch. No "rash" that I can see, unless I give in and scratch. I take cranberry supplements to keep me flushed out for a UTI, which I was treated for last year. My doctor is unsupportive, and unhelpful-told me was due to regrowth from not getting waxed. I just want some facts to arm myself with before trying the doc (new doc) office again.

Any suggestions?? All you cooch experts feel free to speculate.

I’m also suffering from labia majora itchiness, and i had this for 4 months now. At first it was tolerable. Mine doesn’t always itch, but usually it occurs in the morning and comes back in the afternoon. The itch feels like something just bit my skin or a prickly feeling or a newly grown thick hair poking a very sensitive skin. In the first few months, it was dry and flaky then there are days that it would look okay but the skin is still raised. Lately, the itch is much worse, and sometimes i can’t help but scratch it. There are also days that it would weep a yellowish fluid and then it would start to look flaky and then after a few days, the flakiness would be gone but still the skin is raised, dry and sometimes swollen and wrinkly. When my period cane last week, the itch was way more unbearable. I have an appointment with the dermatologist tomorrow since i’ve been tested for yeast, bv and sti’s all came out negative.im on my wits end and i want a cure for this.

it could be pin worms over 90% of american's have pin worms and dont know it. you can get tested at the dr's office. you can also google pin worm symptoms
I'm starting to think it is diet related or allergies.  Cut sugar, Chocolate, nuts out.  Creams don't seem to cure anything
Hi judylaurin,  it is sometimes a trial and error to find what works best.  Everyone is so different.  So, you've had luck with diet changes?
Saw the doctor yesterday. ....BETAMETHASONE 0.1% mix with CANESTIN 2%.....half and half in a small container for a few days at a time.  Apply twice daily. ....A MIRACLE! !!!!  Good luck....This is WORKING very well. Use for about 2 weeks

Same issue here.  I can't believe this thread has over 800 comments with no solution. My itch is random,  but only at the end of the day.  There is no discharge,  and it always itches on a very specific spot.  A shower sometimes helps to alleviate the itching, but sometimes it doesn't . I've had this issue ever since I can remember. After my period it seems worse.  Also I am on the birth control pill.  I have no idea what's happening somebody help us this is a seriously embarrassing and bizarre issue.

GOATS'S MILK AND KEFIR SOAP AND LOTION

Made with kefir and goat's milk, the sensitive soap and lotion made by Chuckling Goat helped me within a week's time. For months, I experienced itching in my left labia majora (Yup, the lip). Due to friction, heat, or moist, I deduced it to be a form of the lesser talked irritation-- vulvar dermatitis or eczema. I was sore and refused to be on steroids. Thankfully, I heard about the product on Hay House radio. I gave it a try and in a week, the difference is so noticeable. I hardly itch, and the soap alone can give relief and gentle cleansing to my lady parts. I am now on a mission to share about this to the many health forums with which ladies feel helpless with such condition. We need to know that there are effective and natural cures available. I am in no way affiliated with the company, but my healing led me to share my experience. Healing to you too!

I have this and my dermatologist diagnosed me with SYSTEMIC NICKEL ALLERGY. Apparently, many women who have nickel allergy suffer in this way and very few OB/GYNs have heard of it. I now avoid contact with nickel items and have cut high nickel foods (chocolate, oats, nuts, soya) from my diet. I only wash with a Hydromol emollient bath additive directly on my vagina. Good luck!

Really?! I think this must be what I have! I have  had agonizing labia and anus itching for 5 years (zero discharge/rash, just extreamlu itchy skin) and have ruled out every possibly cause! I have a very servere nickel allergy when I wear the jewelry. But I never wear it anymore. Where else could I be getting exposed to nickel?
