Suggest Better Treatment For Stinging And Crawling Sensation In The Vaginal Area

I started having stinging and crawling sensation a week ago in my vaginal area, I have been to urgent care Last Saturday that Dr Checked my privates and said nothing is there, no vvisible bugs at all, so he said iImay have scabies they live under the skin.. So he prescribed permethrin cream 5%. I used it as directed and showered. I still had the crawling and stinging. I went to my Dr and with full blown embarrassment and before checking me , told me iI must have crabs and only contracted by close body contact or sex. I haven thad sex in 21 years because my husband cannot perform anymore. Anyway he prescribed Lindane shampoo 1%. Oh, and he also checked and didn t see anything. Last night i used the lindane again and showered and still no relief. My daughter found some tiny red spots and thinks there mites. What can Ido to stop this.
