What are the potential causes and recommended evaluation steps for persistent vaginal itching that has failed to resolve after one month of treatment with multiple oral antifungals and antihistamines?
Since oral antifungals and antihistamines haven't worked, the cause may not be a typical yeast infection. Other possibilities include bacterial vaginosis, skin conditions like lichen sclerosus, or contact irritation from soaps or detergents. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist. They can perform a physical exam and a targeted vaginal swab to check for resistant yeast strains or other infections. In the meantime, try washing with plain warm water only and wearing breathable cotton underwear.
