PIease Help! Is this a yeast infection, sore vagina?

I have had an ongoing infection for some years now and within the last year and a half, I decided to get a new diagnosis from a few new doctors. The infection is in my vagina and I have no symptoms except for a clear/ yellow- beigeish/ light green discharge; thin to thick and stringy/ slimy like a huge booger : it changes through out the month... It does have a smell and it's musty but never fishy at all... It's not an std (because I am a virgin), yeast infection or BV. I've already taken pills for UTI, BV and yeast infection with no relief. I've looked this infection up and evidently it's more common than I thought but no doctor has been able to diagnose it through a PAP and there lab work comes back negative like mine... DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IT IS? Any Ideas greatly appreciated!!!   :)

So my problem was that at the begining of September, I was prescribed Metronidazole ( another medication for BV after the last one didn't work) and I took the full course and nothing happened or changed. So at the end of september I got my period and everything was as usual or so I thought... After six days on my period, ( I go for eight) I got this horrible burning, raw and itchy sensation in my vagina that I have never felt before... I don't know what it was/ is... The discharge from the original infection is still the same; so I know its not a yeast infection because then I would have cottage cheesey clumps as the discharge, right?

Well, The first day of the pain, I went and ate a whole thing of plain yogurt with live and active cultures in it, and then I've been drinking apple cider vinegar every day and putting baby oil on my vagina and it relieved it so much... But it's still raw and sore...

Please help: What happened to me?

And Don't put baby oil in your vagina, will breed bacteria. Hope this helps :-)
