some help please

for the past 4 months i have had a yeast/ bv infection that will not go away. it all started with using a otc med for a yeast infection. OMG i will never do that again. my face, mouth, hands, and vagina swelled so huge. it was horrible but, heres the wrost part. i went to use the bathroom and my skin around my vagina opening and vulva on my left side came right off! it is honeslty the most pain i have ever flet in my whole live. my husband took me to the er. first thing i thought was i had herpes. was told by the er doc  that it wasnt and i am having a massive reaction to this medication. so gave me meds and sent me home. missed work for 3 days because the pain was so bad. well the skin healled but now has what looks like white patchs on it.  the itch is always there and the swelling and redness comes and goes. so  now i have  gone to 3 differnt gynos. creams and pills havent done anything but make the issue worse at times. i have been tested for every std known to man kind and same with my husband. we are both negative. my skin is starting to peel off again now just around my clitoral area under the hood and it hurts but not horrible hurting i guess.  i have a biopsy on the 1st. has anyone ever had anything like this? or maybe just a friendly word.

Hi saliorgirl,

I just read your comments. Here's an idea. Do you go to a dermatologist?
If not, you could go to your family doctor and get a referral to a dermatologist. Let's just say, I've experienced something similar to what
you are describing and the dermatologist gave me a prescription for
a cream. It's a skin issue afterall. Hope this suggestion is helpful. Eve
