Hello,
I have no obvious answer for you. I suggest you see a ob/gyn in your area who specializes in vaginitis and/or consider seeing a dermatologists. An exam in the presence of these findings would be helpful and a tissue biopsy might provide some insight.
I'm sorry for your frustration and hope you find the help you need soon.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
