vaginal itching not infection

Had a vaginal itch for more than a year, been to doctors for tests but nothing. Using vagisil cream and wash still having trouble. Usually before and after periods or after sex using condoms. Please help.

I do use perfumed detergents and toilet tissue but recently changed the toilet tissue to wipes for that reason but not the laundry detergent. I shall also try something there too, can you recommend anything. I shower two to three times a day using a non soap based product for that area and always after sex.

maybe use ivory soap-----it is all natural-----and when drying off just pat dry---don't rub-----if you use fabric sofener or fabric sheets try not to use them for a while and see if there is a difference-----I had a problem like this once and that is what my doctors told me to do----Regular TIDE laundry detergent not with the downy added----just regular just try to stay away from perfumed things down there for a little while........
