What should I do about this irritation, do I just have sensitive skin?

30-year-old womana year ago
I have itching in my pubic and vaginal area. My skin is also very dry. I have had STD tests and they are all negative. It's worse when I shave, or when I'm in the morning after (so dehydrated).

Hello,
Sorry I feel like the details didn't follow my question.
Here they are: I have itching on my pubic area and around my vagina and labia majora. My skin is very dry, even more so when I am dehydrated and after shaving.
  • No smell
  • Not related to my partner (has been going on for years, different partners)
  • I spoke to my doctor who did the STD tests: all negative, his conclusion was that I have sensitive skin... but it does not solve my problem.
  • I did the laser treatment to remove the hair, it solved my problem but after a few months it came back, even if I don't shave anymore.
  • I think it's related to the humidity: the hotter I am, the more it stings.
  • I don't use soap, cream or whatever.
I don't know what to do anymore... it's bearable, but unpleasant so I would like to fix it.
Thanks for your help :) !

Hello!
If your skin is mostly dry and sensitive, maybe using a water-based vaginal moisturizer could be the solution! Have you ever tried products like Replens or Gynatrof?

Hello!
I will try this. It moisturizes the external? because the problem area is not internal.

Yes, they can be used externally and internally!
