I haven't had sex in months, so I know it's not from that and I've had normal pap smears. It's been a recurring problem that I thought was a yeast infection, but my ob/gyn says the test was negative. It's on my inner labia minora on both the left & right side. It's a very raw patch on both sides, clearly discolored from the rest. It's swollen, itchy & irritated. I've tried monistat with no results, I've also tried some kind of ointment the gyn prescribed that did not work. I don't know what else to do. It hurts a great deal & is so raw. What else can I try?
