What's next?

I've been dealing with itchiness and fissures of the vulva since January, seemingly out of the blue. The fissures appear on my posterior fourchette and also my clitoris and labia majora. They frequently re-split and bleed although I have been keeping them moisturised.

As soon as it started, I did a 7 day course of Fleurstat BV gel as this usually clears up my symptoms. I've also been using a soothing cream on my vulva daily to help calm the itching and heal the fissures but doesn't seem to be helping. Only thing that has helped so far is steroid cream but I don't enjoy using steroids. I also did a 6 day course of Clomizol last week with no relief.

I've had no unusual discharge or odours and I have not been sexually active. I would prefer to not see a doctor due to long wait times in my area but will if it's deemed necessary. TIA
