I am a 51 year old woman, post menopausal. About 4 months ago, I noticed a lot of itching on my labia and all over INSIDE as well. I observed white patches all over the inside of my labia and perenial area and when I scratch, I get a thick almost powdery residue under my nails. It comes back just 2 to 3 days after I remove it by gently scratching it off. I have had a biopsy and seen my doctor for it 8 or 9 times and they can find NOTHING. No yeast, no bacteria, no cancer, no STD's ( Im married and haven't had ANY sex for 12 years). I have gone to all cotton "grannie panties" washed with minimal detergent and double rinsed with no fabric softeners nor dryer sheets. I have tried creams and ointments (even steriodal) per my doctors advice, baths instead of showers including using NO soap and rinsing only and I still get NO relief! There is no smell or any odor at all. The itching wakes me up at night and it's driving me CRAZY! I was not on antibiotics and haven't been for years and in fact, I eat a mostly organic diet and I don't take ove the counter ANYTHING unless my doc tells me to, and only after all holistic efforts have failed, like silver, herbs, suppliments, etc. I am desperate for answers. Anybody?

May be Lichen Schlerosis. I wouldn't exactly say that this is a rare condition so I'm surprised that your doctors haven't suggested this.

Me too. Can't figure this out. I have the same profile as u. No sex for 10 yrs and did the otc yeast treatment with no relief'.I am a n RN and still have no idea what this film around my urethra and clitoris is. Not always itchy but is a pain in the butt . Never had it before, started in the last year. Doing all the right things as you are, but no relief. I get some relief from zinc ointments such as penatin and other diaper rash ointments. Give them a try. Best of luck/ Ur not alone'
