ITCHY VULVA (sometimes vagina and anus)

[helphelphelphelp]

i have had symptoms of itchyness constantly for about the past two months. my anus is also itchy, and once in a while i get an itch in my vagina. i was just wondering, if i have had symptoms for this long non-stop is it more likely that i have herpes or more likely that i have something else??

some other info: my skin is especially itchy above the clitoris, in the creases of my labia, and along the outer edge of the labia where my hair starts. the right side is itchier. the skin looks corroded above my clitoris, and to the sides.

I have had the same problem as all of you for years! I could have bought a new car with all the money I've spent on prescriptions and over the counter "anti-itch" creams and ointments. I also don't think I've had a whole nights sleep in 3 years!
On a whim i recently bought a bottle of distilled Witch Hazel at  the local drug store. I have been applying it about 6-7 times a day for the last 4 days and I can honestly say this has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me! The itching has reduced by 95% already, and I have had 2 full nights of sleep in a row! I feel like a brand new person knowing that my love life with my husband is going to be back to normal soon, and that this insane itch that has been haunting me for years is not going to control my life anymore :)
So to all of you suffering the way I did...give it a try, As we all know you have nothing to lose.

I had Mirana and I ended up with what I have been dealing with for over a year and a half. I finally had it removed and suprisingly it has helped some but still no perfect relief. If you search the FDAs website there is info saying something like can cause repeat vaginal infections.  I have been tested for everything under the sun. They have tried telling me I am sensitive to yeast. I eat yogurt like it's going out of style and try to deprive myself of anything that is yeast feeding ie sugars of any kind (noodles, breads..etc..sugary fruits) it does help some but maybe its in my head. I think I will be looking into Lichen Sclerosis, parasites, and maybe having my hormones checked next after that I willl be left clueless. Good luck. Share if you come across answers. This really does suck. I wish I could go back to the days when my vagina just worked the way it was supposed to. Such a luxery we take advantage of.

I had Mirena for almost 3 years. I ask my doctor to remove it because of your same sympthoms. Itchy vaginal area and frequent yeast infections. They removed it about  3 months ago. And unfortunately I still have the itchiness. I buy different over the counter medicine but none has worked for me yet. Planning to go to my doctor again to see what could be.
