Irritated clitoris

Diagnosed with two bacterial infections since December. Last culture done 3 weeks ago came back negative but still have "twitching" going on down there and clitoris is still irritated. Not constant but still annoying. I am still concerned this could be herpes. Was exposed ( one time) to asymptomatic partner. 3 blood tests, all negative and other STD tests negative. Just do not understand why things are not back to normal down there. Can herpes affect the clitoris? No sores ever broke out, just irritation. Anyone know what this could be?

I know your expertise is herpes but you seem to know a lot about problems down yonder. What are some of the other options to use for Lichen Sclerosus just in case this steroid cream is too strong? I think this might be what is bothering my clitoris also. Thank you

I've been wearing uniforms so long, I'm used to the white cotton . You can see right through those suckers when you bend over....lol  Ain't nothing sexy about me any more so I hate to traumatize people by making them see any more of me than they have to....he he he  

if the topical steroids for lichens cause too much irritation, there are other options too.  best of luck getting things calmed down down yonder and STOP THINKING HERPES!!!

Tell me about it, I am in my 40's but not ready for white cotton undies yet. Letting you know, just got my results. All cultures negative, herpes too. Even though no lesions they still cultured the sore area.  Biopsy negative for cancer but they found Lichen Schlrosus. Yeah, finally some diagnosis. They are prescribing me Westcort steroid cream. I just got a steroid ointment that was too strong last week but she says this is milder. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Hope this works for my "C" area too! Thank you again for all your advice and support. This is the best forum ever!

Yep, have been. Changed to all white cotton undies. No panties at night and just using the shower head to cleanse, no soap. What are your thoughts on ph balance wash? Trying everything I can. Just wearing skirts and stretch pants( I want my jeans back!). Still using my estrogen cream also, nothing working!
