    Hi Stephanie has your doctor considered the chance of you having a condition called Lichen Sclorosis it is also an auto ammune probes as is crohns. GPs are not always very knowledgeable on this so a trip to your nearest sexual health clinic where they can do a biopsy to check what it is. They are the experts in this area (no pun intended) and can give medication if needed.

    I have lichen sclerosis and once you get rid if you was with aqueous cream it keeps it a bay.  Good luck.  I think it took more than 3 months to get rid of it.
