Sounds like you need another medical opinion. Really severe itching is not normal. You could have a yeast infection or maybe a contact dermatitis (like an allergic reaction) or dermatoses (like a skin problem) or even something like lice in the pubic hair. You may have none of these, but a doctor who specializes in gynecology could and should be able to rule these things out. If you can't get to a private doctor, try a clinic in your area that specializes in sexually transmitted infections. Although you may not have an infection that was sexually transmitted, the clinicians in these clinics are usually very good at diagnosing a wide variety of disorders. Until then, try soaks in warm water tubs to which an Aveeno oatmeal bath packet has been added. After you dry thoroughly, you may wish to put some Vitamin E Skin Oil on the area. (both vailable at Rite Aide drug store). Best of luck! Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
