I've noticed itching at the opening of my vagina when I wipe, which causes irritation. The itching doesn't occur during the day or in the shower, only when I wipe. I tried using Monistat, but it caused burning. Is this a sign of a specific condition, and what can I do to alleviate the discomfort?

I went to the hospital last week and was told I had a small ovarian cyst likely causing my pain. After visiting an OBGYN who said the cyst was too small to cause pain, another OBGYN suggested the cyst had ruptured after the hospital visit. I've been in pain for a week, with intermittent fever and elevated white blood cell count. Is this normal, and what else could be causing my pain?

Can D-dimer still be elevated at 6 weeks 6 days postpartum, and if so, what could be the reasons for its elevation, especially in combination with long-term shortness of breath (SOB) and elevated platelets?

I have been experiencing severe burning sensations on the tissue outside my vagina since March 2010. Despite normal test results and a normal biopsy, the burning persists and is more 'on' than 'off'. I have been treated for various conditions such as lack of estrogen, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections, but nothing has helped. Could this be a dermatology issue rather than a gynecology issue?
