Is this lichen Sclerosus/ skin issues? Itching and burning for 9 months.

Advice Needed

I've been having issues with my urogynecologist insisting it's a yeast infection for the past 9 months, but I've tested negative for every STI, yeast infection, and BV for the last 6 months. I was testing positive for yeast ureaplasma and bv during the first 3 months, though.

​

I've had chronic itching and burning that, at best, goes away for maybe 4 days before coming right back. It doesn't seem to respond to any treatment. I've done multiple rounds of miconazole, fluconazole, clotrimazole, antibiotics, and boric acid.

​

I'm noticing pale white patches on my vulva and think it might be some sort of skin issue. Especially because the itching and burning went away when I was on yeast infection medication and then came back well I was still on the course of yeast infection medication.

​

I'm just fucking over it. If this really is a yeast infection that's lasted 9 months, I should be giving birth to a six-pack of beer by now.
